Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

The specific heat capacity of solid P is greater than that of solid Q. What is meant by this statement?

  • ALess energy is needed to raise the temperature by $1\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ of unit mass of solid P than unit mass of solid Q.
  • BLess energy is needed to melt unit mass of solid P than unit mass of solid Q.
  • CMore energy is needed to raise the temperature by $1\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ of unit mass of solid P than unit mass of solid Q.
  • DMore energy is needed to melt unit mass of solid P than unit mass of solid Q.
