    Plane shell which is option b

    Explanation:

    The temperature in the case of a steady one-dimensional heat conduction through a plane wall is always a linear function of the thickness. for steady state dT/dt = 0

    in such case, the temperature gradient dT/dx, the thermal conductivity are all linear function of x.

    For a plane wall, the inner temperature is always less than the outside temperature.
