Warmer sauce at the top of the pot is denser, so it sinks to the bottom of the pot, where it is warmed even more.

Warmer sauce at the bottom of the pot is less dense, so it rises, forcing cooler sauce down, where it is warmed.

The pot is only simmering, so there are no convection currents.

The correct response is:
Warmer sauce at the bottom of the pot is less dense, so it rises, forcing cooler sauce down, where it is warmed.
This illustrates convection currents, as the warmer, less dense sauce rises to the top, while the cooler, denser sauce sinks, creating a cycle of movement within the pot.
