Ответ:
The correct answer is option 'c':Convection.
Explanation:
When we ignite a campfire the heat produced by combustion heats the air above the fire. As we know that if a gases gains heat it expands thus it's density decreases and hence it rises, if we hold our hands directly above the fire this rising hot air comes in contact with our hands thus warming them.
The situation is different if we are at some distance from the campfire laterally. Since the rising air cannot move laterally the only means the heat of the fire reaches our body is radiation.
But in the given situation the correct answer is convection.
