Solution

The correct option is A Zero
The boiling point of a liquid is defined as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, at boiling point, specific heat of a liquid is equal to the specific heat of vaporization of that liquid.
