Correct Answer: Water


Solution : The correct option is Water .

Pressurised water reactors (PWRs) are a type of nuclear reactor that commonly use regular or light water (H2O) as a coolant and neutron moderator. Heavy water (deuterium oxide, D2O) can also be used as a coolant and moderator, but it is typically used in heavy water reactors (HWRs).
