Answer:

3) conduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction is the process of heat transfer between solids, which require a material medium for its propagation. And in this case, heat would flow from the warm object to the cold one when in contact until they both reach a state of thermal equilibrum (neglecting heat loss to the surrounding).
