What role does water play in a nuclear power plant?

Question

Select all that apply.

Liquid water is boiled to steam, which is pressurized and turns the turbine to produce electricity.
Liquid water absorbs some of the heat of the reaction, which helps to control the reactions.
Water chemically reacts with uranium, which causes uranium to emit neutrons and produce a chain reaction.
The metal rods holding the nuclear fuel pellets are stored in a pool of water, which absorbs the neutrons produced and controls the rate of the nuclear reactions.
