When trees transpire, releasing gaseous water into the atmosphere, they can absorb heat from their environment and cool it down. what property of water is responsible for this activity? a) high heat capacity b) high heat of vaporization c) adhesion

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The property of water that is responsible for this activity is its high heat capacity. Water can absorb high amounts of heat before there is an observed rise in temperature. It has the highest heat capacity among all liquids. This is caused by the presence of hydrogen bonding in water molecules.
