    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Thermal Diffusivity is defined as the ratio of heat conducted to the heat energy stored per unit volume of a material. Its SI unit is m^2/s. It describes how fast heat can be transferred across the medium. Greater the value of thermal diffusivity, faster is the propagation of heat through the medium
