A
Always from cold to warm
B
Always from warm to cold
C
Both warm to cold & cold to warm
D
It depends on the temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up.

Detailed explanation-2: -The molecules in the warmer object vibrate faster than the ones in the cooler object. The faster vibrating molecules collide with the slower molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -We know hot things cool down when they touch cold things, and cold things heat up when they touch hot things. So, that means the hot thing has to be losing energy, and the cold thing has to be gaining energy. That means that heat is flowing from hot to cold.
