Solution

The correct option is A heat
Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from an object at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. When we stand in the sun or near the fire, the heat energy enters our body and we feel hot. When ice is put on our palm, the heat energy moves from our body to the piece of ice. That’s why we feel cold. The energy which makes an object appear hot or cold is called heat.
