Answer:

C. or B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason I chose c best, is when your cooking something with a pot with food in it max heat in about 5 minutes, the handle starts to get warmer every minute. This is conduction, where the heat transfers from the very bottom all the way to the very edge of something that is heated at a certain temperature.

Stove and copper pot. The candle and air transfer heat through convection, the oven cannot properly conduct heat to the glass dish, wooden spoon is a horrible conductor in any form, and the copper pot is metal so it can better conduct with the stove
