This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Specific heat

Specific heat option is correct.

Specific heat (or specific heat capacity) is defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin). Its SI unit is J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, and water's exceptionally high value (~4186 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) governs the thermal inertia of oceans and lakes.

Latent heat is the energy exchanged during a phase change at constant temperature; thermal conductivity governs the rate of heat flow through a material; and heat capacity refers to the total (not per unit mass) heat needed to raise the temperature of a body by one degree, so it is not the intensive per-mass quantity the stem defines.
