Solution

(a) heat flows from your body to the object

Heat is a form of energy, it can flow from one object to the other. However, temperature cannot flow from one object to the other. A cold object contains minimal heat energy as compared to our body, so when we touch a cold object, heat from the higher energy region, i.e., our body, flows to the lower energy region, i.e., the cold object.
