Answer:

C.) The Oatmeal


Since the oatmeal is the hottest it will spread the other substances which will increase the temperature of the milk, spoon, and the surrounding air.

The oatmeal had the most thermal energy out of the four options; the milk was cool, the spoon was at room temperature and the surrounding air was also at room temperature. Therefore, the heat from the oatmeal will travel to those substances and change their thermal energy.
