    a) The metal with the higher heat capacity.

    Explanation:

    The heat (Q) absorbed by a metal can be calculated using the following expression.

    Q = c * m * ΔT

    where,

    c is the specific heat capacity of the metal

    m is the mass of the metal

    ΔT is the change in the temperature

    Q = c * m * ΔT

    ΔT = Q / c * m

    Considering both metals have equal mass (m) and are subject to the same amount of heat (Q), the change in the temperature is inversely proportional to the specific heat capacity. The metal with the higher specific heat capacity will undergo the smallest change in temperature.
