a. High heat capacity and high surface tension
b. Strong cohesive properties and high heat of vaporization
c. Strong adhesive properties and high heat capacity
d. Strong cohesive properties and high surface tension
e. High heat capacity and high heat of vaporization
Answer: e. High heat capacity and high heat of vaporization
