B The bucket which contains 10 L of water at 35 degree celsius

D None of the above

Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. The bucket which contains 10 L of water at 35 degree celsius

Higher temperature does not automatically mean greater total internal energy or greater heat transfer in every situation. The cup has the higher temperature. But the bucket may have much more total internal energy because it contains far more water.
