Solution

The correct option is A

True


For a coolant to be effective, the substance should have a high specific heat capacity so that it can absorb a large amount of heat.

Water has a high specific heat capacity about 4200 Jkg1k1

Also, water is the cheapest and most abundant liquid than any other liquid and it is non-toxic in nature.
