Solution

The correct options are
A Water has highest specific heat compared to all solids are liquids.
B Water is used in car radiators due to its high specific heat.
C When heat is supplied to a body is greater the specific heat of a substance lesser will be the change in temperature.
A water molecule has anyway more internal degrees of freedom (vibrations and rotations) then a simple liquid. Second, the hydrogenbonding network introduces other degrees of freedom. The heat capacity increases with the number of internal degrees of freedom of a material/liquid/gas.

Water is used as coolant car radiators. Due to its high specific heat capacity, it can absorb a large amount of heat energy from the engine of the car, but its temperature does not rise too high.

When heat is supplied to a body is greater the specific heat of a substance lesser will be the change in temperature.

The specific heat depends on three factors: (1) The change in temperature, (2) the mass of the system, and (3) the substance and phase of the substance

Hence correct option are A,B,C
