Answer 2

woops i didnt know i put it in the math section, sorry! and thank you, i didnt know if it was A or D.

Answer 3

The difference between A and D is that A states the heat of the sun hit the windshield and it transfers the heat to the bar. Although conduction process need to be a direct contact.
Sun's particles travels through the windshield and hit the bar, the light will be changed to heat. That's why it's not conduction but radiation.
