Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a temperature difference the heat will always travel from the hottest place to the coldest.

It is only when the gas mass reaches the same temperature that the heat stops flowing through it. As the temperature homogenizes, there is no need for heat transfer currents.

Have a nice day!
