thfiheDo (b) and (c) have the same meaning?
No. "correct heat" is not idiomatic, you can use "generates enough heat" instead.

(c) should be "When the oven reaches the correct temperature. ..".

So sorry! I mistook again!
I'll be careful from now on.
As tamguatlay said, (c)'s 'correct heat' should have been 'correct temperature'.
Do all (a-c) have the same meaning?
