The unique properties of water,including its strength as a solvent,its three environmental stages of solid,liquid,and gas,and its temperature regulation,are a result of

A) symmetric balance of electronegativity as shared electrons orbit equally around the hydrogens and oxygens.
B) the cohesion and adhesion of water molecules that bond more strongly to each other than other substances.
C) unbalanced electronegativity of the hydrogens and oxygens as they share electrons.
D) the imbalance in numbers of electrons around hydrogen and oxygen valence shells after they ionically bond.
