Answer: B (a small toaster oven toasts a bagel)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Burning of a wax candle is an example of transformation of chemical energy to heat energy since the wax is made up of hydrocarbons.

(b) small toaster oven roasting a bagel is an example of electrical energy transforming or converting into heat energy since the toaster requires electrical energy in form of electricity to convert it into heat energy in the presence of a thermostat.

(c) rubbing two sticks together is an example of heat energy transforming or transformed into electrical energy by producing static currents.

(d) sunlight heating a metal door is am example of light energy transformed into heat energy through reflection of sun rays, the metal door absorbs heat and gets warmed.
