Eleanor Stevens · Answer 2

Answer: D, a metal spoon becomes warm when placed in a cup of hot tea.

Explanation: Conduction is the transfer of energy through matter from particle to particle. It is the transfer and distribution of heat energy from atom to atom within a substance. For example, a spoon in a cup of hot soup becomes warmer because the heat from the soup is conducted along the spoon.
