The correct answer is: the circular plate reaches room temperature fast
$$
\rho=\frac{M}{V} \text {; }
$$

Given: three objects are' of same materials $\rho$ is same. Also, $\mathrm{M}=$ same,
$\therefore \quad$ volume of objects is samé.
For constant volume, amongst the given objects surface area of the plate is maximum.
Hence according to Stefan's law $\frac{\mathrm{dQ}}{\mathrm{dt}} \propto \mathrm{AT}^4$
As $A_{\text {plate }}$ is maximum, the plate will cool fastest and reaches room temeperature fast.
