Answer:

Option C, a pan heated to 100°C

Step-by-step explanation:

The pan on the burner will be in direct contact of the heat released by burner and hence the pan will receive the direct flow of heat from the burner.

However, the water is the pan will be heated by the heat transferred from the pan to the water in it. Water will not receive heat directly from the burner.

Hence, option C is correct
