It's not the time it took to heat the substance, so that rules out A and C.
This means that we only have to choose between
B. the area of contact
D. the area of the substances
(since everything else in each of those answers are the same)
Area of contact matters more (e.g. an object with greater surface area is exposed to the air more, will lose/gain heat quicker than an object with less surface area).
Being made mostly of gas is NOT a
characteristic of an inner planet. The correct answer between all the choices
given is the last choice or letter D. I am hoping that this answer has
satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if
you would like, feel free to ask another question.
