Solution

The correct options are
A mass
B specific heat
C amount of heat provided
Heat absorbed by body is given by:
$Q = m s Δ T$
where:
$m :$ Mass of body
$s :$ Specific heat capacity of body
$Δ T :$ Net change in temperature

$Δ T = \frac{Q}{m s}$
Hence, net change in temperature depends on the heat supplied, mass of the substance and specific heat capacity.
