has a higher specific heat than the metal cup is a better conductor of heat than the metal cup has a specific heat that is similar to that of the metal cup
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: Two students make hot chocolate. One student pours the hot chocolate into a foam cup. The other student pours the hot chocolate into a metal cup. The metal cup becomes too hot to touch, but the foam cup can be held comfortably. The best explanation for this difference in temperature is that the foam cup-- A heats up much faster than the metal cup
Possibilities:
- has a higher specific heat than the metal cup
- is a better conductor of heat than the metal cup
- has a specific heat that is similar to that of the metal cup

is a better conductor of heat than the metal cup
