Solution

The correct option is A $a$
According to this graph, liquid $a$ cools down slowly. In other words heat holding capacity for liquid $a$ is maximum. That is in other words specific heat for $a$ liquid is maximum.
By definition, the specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree celsius.
