Solution

The correct option is A Heat capacity of A is less than that of B
Since, $Q = m c Δ T$
From above equation we can see for some heat energy Q temperature rise depend on specific heat.
$Δ T = \frac{Q}{m c}$
if $Δ T$ is more then specific heat $c$ is less.
hence specific heat of $A$ is less than that of $B$ .
