Answer: the correct answer is option(d).

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy required ,Q= ?

Mass of water , m = 17 grams

Temperature difference or
\Delta T = 15 °C

Specific heat value of water = 4.186 J/g °C


Q=mc\Delta T=17* 4.186 J/g^oC* 15^oC=1,067.43 J\approx 1,067 J

From the given value the , nearest value to to our calculated answer is 1067 J that option (b).

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
