Solution : The correct answer is Heavy water.

The function of moderator and coolant is performed by heavy water in the Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactor, a natural uranium-fuelled reactor. CANDU reactors produce electricity through a process known as fission. The main function of the moderator is to slow down the fast-moving neutrons produced during the fission reaction.
