Thermal energy will flow from an object high temperature to an object of low one. In this case, the thermal energy will flow from object B to object A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal energy which is present within the molecules of an object due to the kinetic energy of its particles is known as thermal energy.

Thermal energy will always flow an object with high temperature towards an object with low temperature only when both the objects are placed in contact with each other.

For example, when object A has a temperature of 287 Kelvin, and object B has a temperature of 374 Kelvin. Then thermal energy will from from object B to object A.
