You want to minimize an objects thermal energy loss on a cold day. How does heat energy transfer affect thermal energy loss?

1 - A material that transfers heat energy at any rate will not experience any change in the thermal energy because this material will be able to absorb energy from its surroundings.

2 - A material that transfers heat energy more easily than other material will experience a slower rate of thermal energy loss than an object that does not transfer heat energy easily.

3 - A material that transfers heat energy at any rate will experience an increase in thermal energy because this material will be able to absorb cold energy from its surroundings.

4 - A material that transfers heat energy more easily than another material will experience a greater rate of thermal energy loss than an object that does not transfer heat energy easily.

4 - A material that transfers heat energy more easily than another material will experience a greater rate of thermal energy loss than an object that does not transfer heat energy easily.

Explanation:

Thermal energy loss has to do with loss of heat energy by a body to another body or its environment. The aim of the process is usually the attainment of thermal equilibrium between the body and its environment.

On a cold day, a material that transfers thermal energy more easily will loose thermal energy faster than an object that does not transfer thermal energy. The rate of heat transfer of a body determines its rate of loss of thermal energy.
