The average kinetic energy of the molecules of both A & B are the same.
D Both A & B are at the same temperature.
Heat is a type of energy that travels from a body that is hotter to one that is colder. If two bodies have the same temperature, they are said to be in thermal equilibrium. If two bodies have the same temperature, it infers that the average kinetic energy of their molecules are also the same. Heat flow only depends on temperature difference, it doesn't depend on the amount of heat energy possessed by the objects.
