Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance or fluid is heated then due to the heat less dense material rises whereas more denser (cooler) substance sink at the bottom under the influence of gravity.

As a result, heat transfers from hotter to colder substance.

For example, noodles rising and falling in a pot of boiling water represent convection process.

Thus, we can conclude that noodles rising and falling in a pot of boiling water would be best categorized as heat transfer by convection.
