The answer is Reduction. All three methods (convection, radiation, and conduction) are all ways of transferring heat. Convection is the transfer of heat by means of a medium such as air. Conduction is the transfer of heat from the contact of two surfaces at different temperatures. Radiation is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves.
Reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the gain of electrons. It is the opposite of oxidation which involves the loss of electrons.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. She concluded that the reaction is an exothermic one because t<span>he reaction released heat. Exothermic is when heat goes out of the system. The opposite is referred to as an endothermic reaction.</span>
