Question

(a) heat is certainly supplied to it
(b) heat is certainly not supplied to it
(c) heat may have been supplied to it
(d) work may have been done on it

Solution
(c) heat may have been supplied to it
(d) work may have been done on it
If the temperature of an object rises in a period, then there are two possibilities. The heat may have been supplied to it, leading to an increase of the internal energy of the object. That will increase the temperature of the body.
The second possibility is that some work may have been done on it, again leading to an increase of the internal energy of the body. That will also increase the temperature of the body.
