Answer: B. holding an ice cube in your hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction occurs in solids and liquids because it refers to a process by which energy is transferred to atoms that come into contact with each other.

Option B is the scenario where heat would be transferred by conduction because heat would be transferred from your hand into the ice cube until it melts because the ice cube is in contact with your hand.
