#4100J#

Explanation:

In this case we have to heat solid water from #-10^oC to 0^oC# (10 degrees), No phase change is indicated, so we will not convert the solid to liquid. The only physical constant needed is the Solid Specific Heat: #2.05 J/(g-^oK# for water.
#200g xx 10^oKxx 2.05 J/(g-^oK) = 4100J#
