Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, heat will flow from the water in the glass to the copper until both reach the same temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see a perfectly thermal insulation system with a glass of water at higher temperatures and a piece of copper at a lower temperature, and when both encounters each other than water will lose some of the heat and that heat will be gained by the copper. The procedure will take place until and unless both attain a similar temperature. After attaining a similar temperature, there will be no change in temperature or heat between the two. The change in heat is a function of temperature difference.
