(N/A) The statement is incorrect.
Heat is a form of energy in transit due to a temperature difference between two bodies.
It is not a property of a body,meaning a body does not 'contain' heat.
Instead,a body contains 'internal energy'.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a body.
Therefore,a hot body has a higher temperature than a cold body,but it does not possess a greater 'amount of heat'.
Heat is only defined when energy is transferred from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.
