    Answer is: 2. the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gained by the water.

    1) the temperature lost by the metal will equal the temperature gained by the water is not correct, because temperature is the intensity of heat present in a substance and a thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient.

    3) the final temperature will be 60 degrees celsius is not correct, because amount of water is greater than amount of metal, so the the final temperature will be less than 60 degrees celsius.

    4) same as 3).
