(Given latent heat of fusion for water/ice specific heat of ice and density of ice

Two different liquids of same mass are kept in two identical vessel, which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows the temperaure vs time plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat in the liquid states to be and for materials and respectively, and latent heats of fusion and respectively.
Choose the correct option.

Two different liquids of same mass are kept in two identical vessels, which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows the temperature T vs time t plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat of materials in the liquid (solid) states to be and respectively.

When heat is supplied at equal rates to three substances and their temperatures are plotted against time, the following graph is obtained. Which material among and has the least heat capacity?
