Answer:The heat flows from an object at a higher temperature to the object at a lower temperature. Thus the option A is correct.

Explanation:What is heat flow?


The flow of heat is the transfer of heat that concerns its generation, use and conversion, and exchange.The heat flow follows the laws of the thermodynamics. Heat will flow from the body that is at a higher temperature and will move towards a body of a lower temperature. Thereby maintaining an equilibrium state. As energy is needed to warm or heat up the cold body there is an exchange of energy that takes place.
