• C. Convection
• D. Conduction

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the three primary modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
2. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between molecules in a solid or between solids in contact.
3. Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by temperature differences.
4. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, which can occur even through a vacuum.
5. Reflection is not a mode of heat transfer; it is the bouncing back of light or heat waves from a surface, not the transfer of heat energy from one object to another.
