Solution

The correct answer is A. Energy is transferred through moving currents of warmer air or liquid. This is the definition of heat transfer by convection. It occurs when heat energy is carried away by the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. This is different from conduction (option C), where heat is transferred through direct contact of molecules, and radiation (option D), where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves. Option B is not a typical method of heat transfer.
