We know that in nuclear reactors heavy water is used as a moderator. It has higher boiling point as compared to the ordinary water. Thus, it is more associated as compared to ordinary water.

The dielectric constant is however higher for \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, thus, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} is a more effective solvent as compared to heavy water \mathrm{D}_2 \mathrm{O}.
Hence, only a and b are correct statements.
