This seems like a ridiculous question (and you should blame your text book or wherever you got it from ). I suspect it came from a textbook and the only "right" answer will be out of that same book.
The question is ridiculous because all resources are unique and what makes them unique is the fact that they are what they are. Why is air a unique resource? Because it is air, and nothing else is air except air, so it is unique. Why is water a unique resource? Because it is water and nothing else besides water, is water. Why is gold a unique resource.....etc, etc
What they are probably trying to ask is, what aspects of water allow for unique applications and uses, or make it an important reource, or something to that effect.

It's not a unique resource. Nothing that covers 2/3s of the globe and is in the top 10 most common compounds on earth should be called unique.
I guess maybe the person is trying to say that another compound cannot be substituded for water, like oil and gas can be substituted for each other, but I wouldn't use the word unique for one of the most common compounds on the planet. And if you cant get it from rain, maybe you can get it from the river, etc.. Sorry, I see nothing UNIQUE about water really.

It is life to human beings and the entire universe. We can not imagine existence of life with out water.. In the history all the wealthy cities and development of human civilisation centrered around water sources.

water, most all life is dependent on it and uses it every day
rivers flow into the ocean constantly people water their lawns and gardens with it but after all these millenniums water has never ran out it is always replenished ,rivers still run and rain still falls and the ocean is still full.the power of it flowing or of the tides can be used to produce electricity

Because it is the universal solvent. It helps to transport cellular materials, it is used as part of a mean for lubrication such as in joints, organs, eyes. Also, it creates an enviromental homeostasis.

Water is reusable
There is always the same amount of it on earth (in various forms)
It serves a multitude of purposes; drinking, cleaning, driving turbines etc etc etc
It sustains life
...i've run out of reasons...

It is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes physical form.
