The best option categorized as heat transfer by convection is:

B. Noodles rising and falling in a pot of boiling water.

Convection involves the movement of fluid (in this case, water) that transfers heat as the warmer parts of the fluid rise and cooler parts sink. The movement of the noodles in the boiling water demonstrates this process.
