The answer is 3. Heat flows from a hot liquid to a pot handle.Conduction is a process of transferring the energy from the atmosphere to the air. So the third option is a good example because it shows the flow of heat.

Your answer is correct: it's number 3.
In fact, all the other answers are example of heat flow by convection. Instead, in answer 3 the molecules of hot liquid hit the molecules of the pot handle, transferring part of their energy to the pot handle, so it is transfer of heat by conduction.
