Answer 1

from the cup to the hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction is the heat transfer due to contact between object. During conduction, heat energy is transferred by contact from a body with higher temperature (hotter body) to a body with lower temperature (cooler body).

When a person with body temperature of 36°C comes in contact with a cup of coffee with temperature of 90°C, heat is transferred from the cup to the hand because the cup is hotter.
