Answer

The correct answers are $A$ and $B$ .

Work Step by Step

It is defined as: $Q=mc$$\Delta$$T$ Where $m$ is the mass , $c$ is the specific heat and $\Delta$$T$ is the temperature change . Now , $\Delta$$T$ $=Q/mc$ We see that temperature change is inversely proportional to the mass and specific heat of the body. We conclude that temperature of the two object won't necessarily be the same if $(a)$the object have different heat capacities, but have same masses. $(b)$ the object have the same specific heat capacities, but have different masses.
