Answer: There doesn't appear to be a single best answer to this type of question. But if we're proposing simple shapes as answers, then a proportionally very thin film (like a sheet of paper) seems serve adequately.
From what I have seen and gather, shapes with long length and width and a short depth would have a bigger surface area compared to its volume. in addition, shapes like cubes and spheres will have a greater volume for their surface area.

The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
C- The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder
You measure or calculate the surface area; you measure or calculate the volume and then you divide the first by the second. The surface areas and volumes will, obviously, depend on the shape.
The surface-area-to-volume ratio also called the surface-to-volume ratio and variously denoted sa/volor SA:V, is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects. The surface-area-to-volume ratio is measured in units of inverse distance. A cube with sides of length a will have a surface area of 6a2 and a volume of a3. The surface to volume ratio for a cube is thus shown as .For a given shape, SA:V is inversely proportional to size. A cube 2 m on a side has a ratio of 3 m−1, half that of a cube 1 m on a side. On the converse, preserving SA:V as size increases requires changing to a less compact shape.
