Answer: Option A
Heat capacity (C) is the thermal energy transferred to increase the temperature of the substance by 1 oC or 1 K.
Specific heat capacity (c) is the thermal energy transferred to increase the temperature of 1 kg of substance by 1 oC or 1 K.
The relationship is C = mc
i.e. the mass of the beaker is not given as the heat capacity already has taken into account the mass.
