Correct: B and D.
Reason: Heat flows from hotter to colder. The warmer room air transfers heat into the colder cup/ice-water (D true, C false). That heat (entering via the water) then goes into the ice and melts it, so energy flows from the liquid to the ice (B true, A false). E is false because there is net heat flow into the ice (melting) — they are not in isolated equilibrium.
