C Correct answer
Explanation

Calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of pure water by one degree Celsius. $1$ Kilocalorie are $1000$ calories, the amount of caloric energy needed to raise the mass of$1$ kg of pure water by $1^0C$. $1$ kilocalorie is $4200$ Joules.

Option C.
