Answer:
The oatmeal

Step-by-step explanation:
It’s the oatmeal that had the most thermal energy out of the four options. The milk was cool, the spoon was at room temperature and the surrounding air was also at room temperature, leaving the heat from the oatmeal will travel to those substances.

I hope this helps!
