The correct answer to the question is : C) Thermal energy.
EXPLANATION:
Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand thermal energy and conduction.
The thermal energy of a body is the sum total of kinetic energy and potential energy of all of its molecules or atoms.
Whenever a body at high temperature is connected to a body at low temperature, the thermal energy will flow from body at high temperature to a body at low temperature. The part of thermal energy which is transferred due to temperature difference is called heat flow. This process is called conduction where there will be no actual transport of atoms or molecules from one body to another body.
As per the question, Javior touches the hut mug of tea. The mug surface is at high temperature as compared to Javior hand. Hence, heat flow be from mug surface to hand of Javior.
Hence, the correct answer to the question is thermal energy.
