The specific heat capacities of different metals determine the amount of heat required to raise their temperature by 1K. The metals provided have the following heat capacities.

Aluminium-921

Brass-401

copper-376

Platinum-125

The higher the heat capacity, the more the energy required to raise the temperature. Therefore, aluminium has the least temperature increase.
