Answer 1

B

just took it

Answer 2

The answer is B) A hand is burned when touching a pot handle

Explanation: the first and last examples are not a direct exchange of heat from one to the other. Meaning that because the soup and stone are being surrounded by heat, they aren’t in as direct of contact as the hand. The hand touches directly to the hot handle and is immediately burned by the exchange of heat
