Jessica was holding a metal spoon with an ice cube on it. After a while, she felt that the spoon was cold.
Which one of the following statements explains why Jessica felt that the spoon was cold?

Answer: C. The spoon gained heat from her fingers but lost heat to the ice.

Statement (c) is correct because heat always travels from a warmer region to a cooler region. In this scenario:
Jessica's fingers to the spoon: Since her body temperature is higher than the spoon's, the spoon gained heat from her fingers. This loss of heat from her skin is what made her feel cold.
Spoon to the ice: Since the spoon is warmer than the ice cube, the spoon lost heat to the ice.
