This answer varies. It would be B. because it's a large pot of water ( made of steel, iron or whatever ) and since it's a good conductor, it would transfer heat energy to the water and keep it warm.

It may not be A. because it's a small cup and the more molecules or matter it has the more thermal energy so it likely they would both be the same temperature.

Hope that helps.
