Transfer of thermal energy — practice question

A student proposes some applications for containers made from good thermal conductors and for containers made from poor thermal conductors. In which row are both proposed applications correct?

  • Agood thermal conductor: keeping a cold liquid at a low temperature; poor thermal conductor: transferring thermal energy quickly from a hot liquid
  • Bgood thermal conductor: keeping a hot liquid at a high temperature; poor thermal conductor: keeping a cold liquid at a low temperature
  • Cgood thermal conductor: transferring thermal energy quickly from a hot liquid; poor thermal conductor: transferring thermal energy quickly to a cold liquid
  • Dgood thermal conductor: transferring thermal energy quickly to a cold liquid; poor thermal conductor: keeping a hot liquid at a high temperature
