The specific heat of liquids is inversely proportional to the density of the liquid. As you heat up water, its density increases upto 40 C. Thus specific heat decreases and afterwards as the density decreases the specific heat increases.

Q. Which one of the following graphs represents variation of specific heat capacity of water with temperature?

The specific heat of liquids is inversely proportional to the density of the liquid. As you heat up water, its density increases upto $4^{0} C$ . Thus specific heat decreases and afterwards as the density decreases the specific heat increases.
