If Water Had a Lower Specific Heat, Would Ponds Be

If water had a lower specific heat, would ponds be more likely to freeze or less likely to freeze?

A) Ponds would take less time to freeze because they couldn't hold on to heat so well.
B) Water would necessarily also have a lower freezing point, and it would take more time for a pond to freeze.
C) A pond would take less time to freeze because the water molecules would slow down at a slower rate.
D) Ponds would take more time to freeze because ice would no longer be less dense than liquid water.
