Which statement is wrong?

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of random motion, but not other kinds of energy

Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature. [solution]

Each substance has its own characteristic specific heat capacity.

When the same amount of heat produces different changes in temperature in two substances of the same mass, we say that they have different specific heat capacities.

Different substances have different thermal properties due to differences in the way energy is stored internally in the substances.
