Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

A: Thermal energy is transferred by conduction from the hot iron to the shirt, from the hot cup to the hand holding it, from the flame of the camp stove to the bottom of the pot as well as from the bottom of the pot to the food inside, and from the feet to the snow. The shirt, hand, pot, food, and snow become warmer because of the transferred energy. Because the feet lose thermal energy, they feel colder.


Q: How is thermal energy transferred in every-day, real life situations, such as holding a warm cup?

 Choices:

- decomposition

- condensation

- oxidation

- conduction

A:
conduction
