Hey there!

Since the object that was added into the water was hot, the water's temperature will increase

C. when you put a object with high temp in a liquid that is lower temp, the water will adapt to the change and attempt to adjust to the temp of the object thus decreasing the temp of the object and increasing the temp of the water
