The correct answer is It is the energy required to change the state of a substance..

Boundary lens: Keep this separate from nearby specification points that use similar words but test a different idea. This question asks: Which of the following statements is true regarding specific latent heat (Changes of state and specific latent heat). The correct response is It is the energy required to change the state of a substance., because specific latent heat concerns energy transferred during a state change with no temperature rise. In Changes of state and specific latent heat, the marking point should connect directly to define specific latent heat as the energy needed to change the state of one kilogram of a substance with no change in temperature. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Internal energy and energy transfers, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 370 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the boundary lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
