The transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity is
A) conduction
B) convection
C) radiation
D) all of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conduction is the transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity, where heat is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature without any motion of the medium itself. Therefore, option A is the best choice for this question. Options B and C involve motion of the medium itself, making them incorrect answers. Option D includes all three methods of heat transfer, but only conduction is being asked in this question.
