Solution

The correct option is A
Hot

While holding ice in our hands for a while, there is a heat transfer from our hand to the ice. As a result, our hand feels cold. Now, if we put our hand in water at normal temperature, our hand feels hotter as it is now in contact with water which is at a higher temperature than that of our hands causing the heat to flow from water to our hand.
