Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that rate of a reaction depends upon temperature. This means that more is the temperature more will be the kinetic energy of particles.

Hence, this will cause greater number of collisions between the particles. As a result, rate of reaction will become faster.

Thus, we can conclude that the result for the given situation will be that the hot stick is brightest, and the cold stick is dimmest.
