B! Conduction is touch, so the heat traveled through touch from th stove to the ice cube, therefore melting it

Answer: B. Heat moves from the stove to the ice cube through conduction.

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat transfer- conduction, convection and radiation.

When two objects which are not in thermal equilibrium come in contact, heat transfer takes place via conduction. The heat transfers from hotter object to the cooler one.

In convection, there is bulk movement of fluid which transfers heat from heat source to the the cooler region of the fluid.

Heat radiation can travel through vacuum from the source of heat.

In the given situation, ice cube is placed on a heat stove. There is a direct contact between the two objects. Heat would transfer from hot stove to cube till the two are in thermal equilibrium.
