Which statement best describes how water’s properties relate to its functions in a human’s biological systems?

Water has a high specific heat, so it can absorb substantial heat energy while its own temperature changes only slightly. This helps water in the body buffer temperature changes and carry heat away from the skin. Capillary action does not explain water entering the body to provide support, and water generally does not dissolve nonpolar compounds.
