Which Choice Is Best? the Unusually High Enthalpy of Fusion

Which choice is best? The unusually high enthalpy of fusion, enthalpy of vaporization, and specific heat capacity of water impact our natural environment because these properties

A) prevent ice from sinking to the bottom of deep lakes in cold temperatures.
B) allow liquids to rise in plant stems through capillary action.
C) moderate temperature changes near large bodies of water.
D) cause water to be a greenhouse gas that contributes to natural global warming.
E) allow rapid transfer of thermal energy within living things.
