Answer: 3. Kinetic energy of the hands heats up the air.

Explanation: My explanation might be a little dumb. When you're cold you will put your hands together and rub really fast to create heat. When you clap your hands the same thing is happening. I hope this helps!

Let me know if I'm wrong, have a good day!
