Answer:

Conduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction is occurring as heat is being transferred through a direct touch. One example of conduction is a wooden spoon becoming hot after directly touching a hot pot.

Convection is more of a circulation motion of heat, and radiation is transfer through heat waves, such as sunlight.

I hope this helped! Let me know if you have any further questions :)
