Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on water's properties:

• Water is a universal solvent, so "it is a poor solvent" is false.
• Water has high specific heat (retains heat), so that's true.
• Ice (solid water) is less dense than liquid water, so that's true.
• Water has high heat of vaporization/ fusion (needs much energy to change states), so that's true.

Answer:

A. it is a poor solvent
