Calorimeter is used  to find the specific heat.
Hence option A is correct.

But Sir ;
According to the equation q = m x c x (delta) t
Solving for c ; we get; q / (m x (delta) t) = c.
So for this we would also require balance to find “m” and thermometer for finding  “t” Values.
So wont the answer be E – (I, II and III)?

Calorimeter is used to measure the specific heat. Generally Bomb calorimeter is used for these. Heated material is dipped into the liquid of calorimeter and heat liberated is measured by the increase in temperature of the liqyil and thus specific heat is calculated.
