A small, hot object makes thermal contact with a more massive, equally hot object. Consequently,

1.there will be a net flow of energy from the smaller object to the larger object.
2.there will be a net flow of energy from the larger object to the smaller object.
3.there will be zero net flow of energy.
4.more information is required to determine the direction of the net flow of energy.
