Respuesta :

Answer:

C. O from both A and B to C

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy derived from heat. Ideally, thermal energy will flow from a hotter region to a colder or less hot region. According to the image depicted in this question, three materials of differing temperature values are shown.

If these three materials all come into contact at once, thermal energy will flow via conduction, from the hottest to the coldest. Since materials A and B are of the same temperature value, which is higher than that of material C, THERMAL ENERGY WILL FLOW FROM BOTH A and B (hottest) to C (coldest).

N.B: The temperature reading is indicated in the image. The higher the value on the scale, the higher the temperature.
