B. The heat travels to the pan and therefore heats the water

Ismael · Answer 2

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When heat transfers from one substance to another substance without their movement and both substances having difference in temperature then this process of transferring heat is known as conduction.

Therefore, we can conclude that when water boils in a pan on a hot burner, heat gets to the water mainly by conduction of heat through the pan.
