Right choice is (a) True

Easy explanation: The thermal diffusivity is the thermal conductivity divided by density of the material and specific heat capacity at a constant pressure. It measures the ability to conduct thermal energy relative to its ability to the heat energy. High diffusivity means rapid heat transfer.
