Spencer Huang · Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. It is only specific heat accounts for mass not heat capacity. Specific heat is specific for a certain amount and has units of J / kg-K. As you can see, the denominator has kg which is a unit of mass.
