Answer:
The correct answer is option B which is heat transfer by conduction.
Step-by-step explanation:
- According to the description of the experiment given in the question, the heat transfer is by conduction.
 - Heat conduction is the transfer of energy from one place to another place of material by collision and vibration of small particles(atoms) in the material.
 - While convection is transfer by the movement of material itself.
 - Radiation transfer is by rays.
 - As the rod does not moved, only heat energy moved from from one end to other by the atomic collisions in rod.
 - Hence option B is the only correct option.
