Correct answer: Heat transferred through waves.
Briefly:
- Radiation = transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves (e.g., infrared). It does not require a medium — the Sun warms Earth by radiation.
- Conduction = heat transferred by direct contact through materials (heat flow along a solid or between touching objects).
- Convection = heat transferred by the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas) carrying heat with it.
