Solution

The correct option is C Fumaric acid
It remains unaffected upon heating because the trans double present in the compound at the $α$ position of $- C O O H$ group prevents many reactions performed by carboxylic acids. When melted it does isomerize and form maleic anhydride. Few materials are completely immune to heat.
