e. The water is still a liquid.

Explanation:

We know that the thermal energy added to an object is related to its temperature by the formula:

$Q=mc\Delta T=mc(T-T_0)$

Solving for the final temperature T, we obtain:

$T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0$

Since the specific heat of water is c=4.186J/g°C and 5.0kJ=5000J, we get that the final temperature is:

$T=\frac{5000J}{(15.5g)(4.186J/g\°C)}+10\°C\\\\T=87.0\°C$

As the boiling point of water (at sea level) is 100°C, and that temperature is not reached, then the correct answer is e. The water is still a liquid.
