Answer

(a) Lead, Water

Work Step by Step

We have $\Delta V = \beta V_0 \Delta T$ for same $V_0$ and $\Delta T$ $\Delta V \propto \beta$ Thus for minimum overflow of liquid $\beta_{liquid}$ should be minimum and $\beta_{container} $ should be maximum. Hence, the perfect combination is Lead,Water.
