The graph shows the variation with time t of the temperature T of two samples, X and Y. X and Y have the same mass and are initially in the solid phase. Thermal energy is being provided to X and Y at the same constant rate. What is the correct comparison of the specific latent heats Lx and Ly and specific heat capacities in the liquid phase cx and cy of X and Y? A. Lx > Ly, cx > cy B. Lx > Ly, cx < cy C. Lx < Ly, cx > cy D. Lx < Ly, cx < cy
