Solution

The correct option is B Heat is being transferred from boiling water to ice by the mode of conduction.

We know that the heat is transferred from hotter body to colder body until both of them acquire the same temperature. Here ice and boiling water are in thermal contact with the help of a metallic rod. Metallic rods are good conductors of heat and hence the heat is transferred by conduction.
So, the heat is being transferred from boiling water to ice by the mode of conduction.
