A
The amount of thermal energy required to increase the temperature of 1kg of a material by 1
B
The amount of radiant energy required to increase the temperature of 1kgof a material by 1
C
The amount of energy required to increase the temperature of 1kgof a material by 1
D
The amount of friction required to increase the temperature of 1kgof a material by 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of 1.00 kg of mass by 1.00 ºC. The specific heat c is a property of the substance; its SI unit is J/(kg ⋅ ⋅ K) or J/(kg ⋅ ⋅ °C °C ).

Detailed explanation-2: -4184 joules of energy is needed to heat one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius, but only 140 joules is needed to heat one kilogram of mercury by one degree Celsius.
