The term for the amount of energy required to raise one gram of water one degree on the Celsius scale is a small calorie, also known as a gram calorie. The correct spelling for this unit is with a lowercase "c". A calorie with a capital "C" or kilocalorie (choice D) is equal to 1000 small calories and is commonly used in food labeling. A joule (choice C) is another unit of energy, but it is not commonly used to measure the heat required to raise the temperature of water.
