D. the hydrogen bonds between water molecules are stronger than the covalent bonds within a water molecule
E. hydrogen bonds are formed by adding a large amount of heat

As compared to molecules of similar weight, the fact that water has a high boiling point, high specific heat, high melting point and is mostly found in large collections of liquid (ocean) is due to which property listed below?

Explanation / Answer
