Solution

The correct option is A
I

On heating, the wax melts. Heat is transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of an object by the process of conduction. Thus, heat is transferred from the end nearest to the flame to the other end. Thus, pin I which is nearest to the flame will drop first.
