Solution

The correct option is D both A and B
There are three ways by which heat transfers:

Conduction: for which the two bodies need to be in contact

Convection: for which there needs to be a material medium between the two bodies

Radiation: which occurs if there is a temperature difference, irrespective of whether there is a material medium or not.

In this case, there is a medium between the two. But the two bodies are not in contact.
Hence, there is radiation and convection which matches with option D.
