Change in temperature.
Reason: heat transferred Q is related to mass and specific heat by Q = m c ΔT, so the temperature change (ΔT) is what indicates the amount of heat exchanged. The other choices are not correct: constant temperature would give no heat transfer (for an isolated substance), "constant specific heat" is an assumption used in the formula, and "change in specific heat" is not how heat is measured.
