C

Explanation:

Units for heat capacity are Joule per kelvin: Jcdot K^-1
:.Units for Surface heat capacity would be

Joule per meter square per kelvin: Jcdot m^-2cdot K^-1

Now Joule J can be written in terms of kg as kg·m^2·s^-2

Combining above two we get (kg·m^2·s^-2)cdot m^-2cdot K^-1

:.unit for surface heat capacity are kg·s^-2cdot K^-1
