Final answer:

A) Al

Aluminum (Al) has the highest specific heat capacity among the molecules listed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecule with the highest specific heat capacity is:

A) Al

Aluminum (Al) has a specific heat capacity of 0.900 J/g°C, which is higher than the specific heat capacities of the other molecules listed.

Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C.

Therefore, aluminum requires the most energy to increase its temperature.
