$A$ wall with a cavity consists of two layers of brick separated by a layer of air. All three layers have the same thickness,and the thermal conductivity of the brick is much greater than that of air. The left layer is at a higher temperature than the right layer,and a steady-state condition exists. Which of the following graphs correctly predicts the variation of temperature $T$ with distance $d$ inside the cavity?
