answer:(c) Heat flows from the tea into the ice cube. A common misconception is that "cold" flows from the ice into the tea. When the ice is placed in the tea, the ice has less kinetic energy per molecule than the tea, so in molecular collisions between the tea and ice, energy transfers from the tea into the ice. This energy transfer cools the tea as it melts the ice and then heats up the ice. The transfer of energy from the warmer tea to the colder ice is called "heat."
