Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to increase the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1°C.

The formula for specific heat capacity is as follows:


C = (Q)/(m \Delta T)

where:
C → specific heat capacity

Q → heat energy required

m → mass of the object

ΔT → change in temperature.
