The correct response is:
**The heater creates convection currents, which transfer warmer water away from the heater and cooler water toward the heater.**
This explanation best describes how the heating process works in a pool. The heater warms the water it directly comes into contact with, and as that warmer water rises, cooler water moves in to replace it, creating a circulation that helps distribute heat evenly throughout the pool.
