The best description is: "the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object or substance to a cooler object or substance."

Explanation: heat is energy in transfer due to a temperature difference. "Measure of average kinetic energy..." describes temperature, and "thermal energy" (internal energy) is the energy contained within a body, not the transfer.
