Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The only true statement is: c. Water dissolves polar and ionic substances.
Detailed explanation-2: -The properties of water include cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, surface tension, the ability to dissolve many substances, and high specific heat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The four unique properties of water that make it unique are high specific heat, high polarity, adhesion cohesion, and a lower density as a solid. Water having a high specific heat allows it to absorb heat energy without a subsequent change in temperature.
