Two metallic spheres $P$ and $Q$ are made of the same material and have the same smoothness,but the weight of $P$ is $8$ times that of $Q$. If the two are heated to the same temperature and left to cool,then the ratio of the rate of cooling of $Q$ to that of $P$ is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1$
