Answer: Option E : Air and Ice

Step-by-step explanation:

The heat capacity of Air and the heat capacity of Ice are mostly used in explaining the heat capacity behavior of most terrestrial setting because ice is solid and it's heat capacity does not posses a profile and other terrestrial solids heat capacity can be related to ice.

Also Air is a fluid and most terrestrial fluids heat capacity can be related to that of air.
