d. Water serves as a cushion and lubricant in the body.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the properties of water that are commonly accepted in scientific literature.
Review each option and compare it with the known properties of water.
Understand that water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb or release a significant amount of heat with little change in temperature.
Recognize that water is a polar solvent, which allows many substances to dissolve in it due to its ability to surround and interact with charged particles or polar molecules.
Consider the role of water in the body as a cushion and lubricant in various tissues and joints, facilitating smooth movement and providing protection against mechanical stress.
