Correct Answer

C

Explanation

Thermal equilibrium between two objects exists when they are at the same temperature and there is no net transfer of heat between them. In other words, the rate of heat transfer from one object to the other is equal to the rate of heat transfer from the second object to the first. At thermal equilibrium, the objects have reached a balance in terms of their thermal energy, resulting in a stable temperature distribution.
