The correct response is:
**The temperature in both rooms will become equal over time.**
When the door opens, heat will transfer from the warmer room (80°F) to the colder room (50°F) until thermal equilibrium is reached, meaning the temperatures will eventually equalize.
**The temperature in both rooms will become equal over time.**
