Answer:

a) The hot iron is warmer than the shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal energy always flows from a hot object to a cold object.

This process is similar to water flowing from a higher level to a lower level.

In the given question, since the iron is hot, it has greater thermal energy compared to the shirt. So heat flow is from the hot iron to the shirt.

( like during the ironing of a shirt).

The correct answer for this question would be option A. When the thermal energy in a hot iron flows into a shirt, what we can possibly say about this situation is that, the iron is warmer than the shirt. The transfer of heat from the iron to the shirt is called heat conduction. Hope this answer helps.
