Verified answer
specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the QUANITY OF HEAT REQUIRED to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of the substance through 1K ( kelvin ) .
however it obtained the unit of J/kg/k
The specific heat capacity is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of material by 1 degree Celsius.

The amount of of temperature change, when thermal energy is added to the particles is another property that particles in different materials have. Different materials will increase or decrease their average energy depending on how much thermal energy is provided.
Heat Capacity is the amount of thermal energy that warms or cools an object by 1oC (it depends on the mass and the type of particle the object is made of).
Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of thermal energy that warms or cools 1 gram, of a specific type of particle, by 1oC.

Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.

In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
