Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that there is a hot piece of lasagna, therefore, the particles of lasagna will have high kinetic energy. As a result, they will be moving rapidly from one place to another.

And when a fork is placed on a hot piece of lasagna then heat will be transferred from fast moving particles of lasagna collide with slow moving particles of the fork.
