Which one has the highest specific heat?
Answer: D
Water has the highest specific heat of these.
It is \(4186\ \mathrm{J\,kg^{-1}\,K^{-1}}\), against about 2400 for alcohol and 2100 for kerosene - among the highest of any common substance, because much of the energy goes into breaking hydrogen bonds. This is why water is used as a coolant and why coastal climates are mild.
