Answer:The thermal energy gets transferred to fork from lasagna by the means of Thermal conduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal conduction is defined as movement of heat from hotter object to cooler object when they touching each other.The movement of heat is due to particle collision and movement of electrons within a substance.

Same is happening in the case when we place fork in hot lasagna due to which fork gets warm.
