What type of heat causes a change in temperature without changing the state of a substance?

The correct answer is that the type of heat that causes a change in temperature without changing the state of a substance is referred to as sensible heat. Sensible heat is associated with the thermal energy that raises the temperature of a substance when heat is added or removed without altering its phase. For example, when you heat water on a stove, its temperature rises as you add heat until it eventually reaches its boiling point, but all of that heating up until the boiling point is an example of sensible heat.

In contrast, latent heat refers to the energy absorbed or released during a phase change (like melting or boiling) without a temperature change. Super heat is typically associated with vapors and relates more to heat added to a substance after it has already reached its boiling point, while specific heat refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. These concepts are different from sensible heat because they involve phase changes or define heat capacity rather than directly associating with a temperature increase.
