Figure shows a solid metal sphere of radius $‘a’$ surrounded by a concentric thin metal shell of radius $2a$ . Initially both are having charges $Q$ each. When the two are connected by a conducting wire as shown in the figure, then amount of heat produced in this process will be 
  • A$\frac{{K{Q^2}}}{{2a}}$
  • B$\frac{{K{Q^2}}}{{4a}}$
  • C$\frac{{K{Q^2}}}{{6a}}$
  • D$\frac{{K{Q^2}}}{{8a}}$
