Which substance would retain the most heat for the longest period of time?Al(s)HO(s)HO(l)Sn(s)

Liquid water has a high specific heat, so it takes in a lot of energy before its temperature rises and cools down slowly after heating. Therefore, HO(l), the liquid choice, would retain heat the longest. The solids listed generally have lower specific heats.
