The rug is a better insulator than the tile.

Answer 1

The rug is a better insulator than the tile

Answer 2

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to find the reason why our feet feel cooler on a tile floor than on a warm rug.

The reason is

i) the tile is a better heat conductor and it moves our body heat faster away from our skin.

ii) The rug is a good insulator and hence it slows down the flow of heat from our skin of touch and hence we feel warmer

So out of the four options

option d is right.

The rug is a better insulator than the tile.
