    Answer;

    the one with the highest specific heat

    Explanation; The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C or 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance. A metal with the highest specific heat will cause the greatest increase in temperature of water in a calorimeter because the metal would hold more heat, and then transfer the greater quantity of heat to the water.
