Answer:

Radiation is the method of transfer of energy for the melting of ice.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Conduction is the transfer of heat energy from one part of matter to other part by atomic collision.
  • While convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of liquid or hot air.
  • And radiation is the way of absorbing or transmitting energy.
  • Hence in ice melting, thermal energy is absorbed so the correct answer is option C which is radiation.
