Solution

The correct option is B Water in bucket B is hotter than water in bucket A.
Heat flows from a hot body to a cold body.

Himanshu's right hand felt hotter after dipping in water at room temperature. This means that the water in bucket A is at a temperature less than the room temperature.

Similarly, we can conclude that water in bucket B has a temperature more than the room temperature.

Therefore, water in bucket B is hotter than water in bucket A.
