The specific heat capacity of ice is half as much as that of liquid water. What is the result of this?

a. It takes half the amount of energy to increase the temperature of a 1kg sample of ice by 1 degree C than a 1 kg sample of water.
b. it takes twice he amount of energy to increase the temperature of a 1kg sample of ice by 1 degree celcius than a 1kg sample of water.
c. it takes a quarter the amount of energy to increase the temperature of a 1 kg sample of ice by 1 degree celcius than a 1kg sample of water.
d. It takes the same amount of energy to increase both the samples of ice and water.
