Solution

The correct option is C solids
In conduction, heat transfer takes place from one molecule to another molecule as a result of the vibratory motion of the molecules. So, heat transfer through conduction occurs in substances whose molecules are tightly packed together, or in direct contact with each other. Solids have such tightly packed molecules, and hence, solids transfer heat via conduction.
