Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat transfer typically involves the transfer of energy from molecules at a higher energy level (or temperature) to those at a lower energy level, not the other way around as suggested in option B. This is a fundamental principle of thermodynamics, where heat naturally flows from hot to cold objects.
