Heat transfer by fluid motion is:

A. Radiation

B. Conduction

C. All three

D. Convection

View Answer & Solution Discuss

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Convection: bulk fluid motion carries heat (natural: density-driven; forced: pump/fan). Conduction: molecular collisions; radiation: EM waves. Memory aid: 'Convection = fluid flow + heat; e.g., boiling, weather'. Heat transfer mode frequently tested in competitive exams.
