Solution

The correct option is C Water
Specific heat of iron - $460.548 J / k g - K$
Specific heat of steel - $502.416 J / k g - K$
Specific heat of copper - $376.812 J / k g - K$
Specific heat of water - $4184 J / k g - K$

So from a simple comparison, we can see that irons have much lower specific heat than water.
