B.Molecules in the pie move faster than molecules in the skin, so heat is transferred to the skin.
C.Molecules in the skin move faster than molecules in the pie, so heat is transferred to the skin.
D.Molecules in the pie move faster than molecules in the skin, so heat is transferred to the pie.

Answer :

PseudoReason
The answer is letter B, because according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics heat can only move from a hotter body to one of colder temperature. So that's your answer: as the molecules in the pie move faster (are hotter) than the ones in the skin, heat is transfered from the pie to the skin.
