A metal spoon was placed in a dish of ice cream and became cool. Which correctly describes the heat transfer process that resulted in the cooling of the spoon.

• Conduction, because the spoon was in contact with the cold ice cream.

• Convection, because the spoon was in contact with the cold ice cream.

• Conduction, because cold air currents affected the temperature of the spoon.

• Convection, because cold air currents affected the temperature of the spoon.
