PLEASE HELP REALLY IMPORTANT

Two identical metal spheres at 8 °C are put in two beakers with equal amounts of water, as shown below. Two beakers are side by side; one is labeled Beaker A and the other is labeled Beaker B. Both beakers are the same shape, size, and are about two-thirds full with water. Both beakers have a metal sphere with a temperature of eight degrees Celsius submerged in the water. Heat flows from the water to the metal spheres in Beaker A and Beaker B. Which statement is correct? The temperature of the water in both beakers is lower than 8 °C. The temperature of the water in both beakers is greater than 8 °C. The temperature of the water in both beakers will increase. The temperature of the metal spheres in both beakers will decrease.

This is because since the water passes on heat to the spheres, that means they are at a higher temperature then the spheres. if they were at a lower temp. The spheres would pass on heat to the water.
