When heat is transferred by molecular collision, it is referred to as heat transfer by
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Convection is the process of heat transfer by the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids.
The initial heat transfer between the object and the fluid takes place through conduction, but the bulk heat transfer happens due to the motion of the fluid

LoginBecause in conduction, heat flows from one molecule to another due to direct contact and collisions, without any bulk movement of the material.
And Convection involves bulk movement of fluid (liquid or gas).
Heat transfer in convection happens due to motion of the fluid, not just molecular collisions.
Conduction- heat transfer by molecular collision
Actually convection involves conduction and advection both so convection can also be correct but the most appropriate option will be conduction.
