Specific Heat and Material Property

Assertion (A): Specific heat of substance is property of material.
Reason (R): Specific heat also depends on the condition of the experiment. The way in which heat is supplied to the body.
 
(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Specific heat is an intrinsic property of a substance, dependent only on the material itself and its phase, not on experimental conditions or how heat is supplied. Thus, Assertion (A) is true. Reason (R) is false. Therefore, (A) is true but (R) is false.
