Correct option is D

Heavy Water refers to Deuterium Oxide (D₂O). It is chemically similar to regular water (H₂O), but with one key difference: in heavy water, the hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen. This results in water that is about 10% heavier than ordinary water.
