option (a) is correct because ---
Q(heat given)=C(specific heat of metal).mass.dt(change in temperature)
for same amount of heat,metals having the same mass the only property that differs the metal is their specific heat capacity
for metal having higher value of specific heat capacity must have small changes in temperature so as to keep the amount of heat constant.
