Answer:

a) both their average kinetic energy and temperature will be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a system. As temperature increases, so will kinetic energy. As kinetic energy increases, speed increases. As one decreases, so does the other. When two objects are in contact with each other, their molecules will exchange energy and cause an eventual equilibrium of temperature and kinetic energy.
