Heating a marshmallow over a fire is where heat is transferred by means of
A
Infrared Radiation
B
Conduction
C
Convection
D
Microwaves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heat can be transferred by infrared radiation. Unlike conduction and convection-which need the vibration or movement of particles-infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation. When infrared radiation is absorbed by an object it is heated and its temperature rises.

Detailed explanation-2: -When heating a marshmallow in a microwave, some moisture inside the marshmallow evaporates, adding gas to the bubbles. In addition, a warmer gas pushes outward with more force. Both adding gas and heating cause the gas bubbles to expand, thereby causing the marshmallow to puff up.
