____ describes how much energy is required to raise an object’s temperature.
A
Conduction
B
Convection
C
Specific Heat
D
Radiation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heat capacity is a property that describes how much energy is needed to change the temperature of a material. Objects with a high specific heat capacity require a greater change in energy to change their temperature and vice versa for objects with a low specific heat capacity.

Detailed explanation-2: -The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of that substance by 1°C. Specific heat is measured in joules per kilogram degree Celsius [J/(kg · °C)]. The table shows the specific heat of some familiar materials.
