Solution

The correct option is A Surface area
The surface area of the tea poured in a saucer is more than that in the cup. The more the surface area, the more is the rate of evaporation that causes cooling effect. Therefore, the tea present in the saucer becomes cool faster than in a cup.

Hence, option A is correct.
