Solution

  1. The materials which allow heat to pass easily through them are known as good conductors of heat.
  2. The materials which do not allow heat to pass easily through them are known as bad conductors of heat.
  3. Wood is a bad conductor of heat and iron is a good conductor of heat.
  4. During the winter season the surroundings will be colder, than wood and iron.
  5. Heat flows from hotter bodies to the colder body.
  6. Heat energy from an iron chair will be easily transferred to the surrounding because iron is a good conductor of heat.
  7. When heat energy is easily flowing out from a body, the body becomes colder, hence iron chair feels colder than a wooden chair in winter.
    Hence the correct statement is: an iron chair feels colder than a wooden chair in winter
