Answer:

10 g at 10°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat energy is directly proportional to the mass and the temperature of a substance. When comparing two samples of the same substance, the one with higher mass contains more heat energy. Similarly, a substance with higher temperature contains more heat energy compared to the same substance with a lower temperature.

In this case, the smallest amount of heat energy would be in the sample of 10g at 10°C. This is because it has the lowest mass and temperature compared to the other three options.
