Convection is the process of heat transfer that occurs when heat is transferred by movement of a fluid or gas, such as air. As the air overlying the surface of an object is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, allowing cooler air to replace it in a cycle. This results in heat loss from the surface of the object to the air, making convection the correct answer.
