Answer»

Right choice is (c) Calorific value

The best I can explain: when FUELS are BURNT, heat is produced. It can also be DEFINED as the amount of heat produced on complete burning of 1gm of FUEL. SI unit of calorific value is kJ/g. The chemical reaction is typically hydrocarbon or other ORGANIC molecule reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and release heat.
