Answer:
(a) -- the correct choice is highlighted
Step-by-step explanation:
The units of specific heat tell you what quantities make up the ratio.
[tex]\dfrac{390\text{ J}}{1\text{ kg$\cdot^\circ$C}}=\dfrac{-12.0\text{ J}}{0.012\text{ kg}\cdot\Delta T}\\\\\Delta T=\dfrac{-12.0}{0.012\cdot390}\ ^\circ\text{C}\approx-2.56\text{ $^\circ$C}[/tex]
The temperature will decrease by 2.56 C.
