1.In general, there are three types of heat transfer mechanisms:
(a). Conduction
(b). Convection
(c). Radiation
2. Radiation is the only means of heat transfer among these three mechanisms that doesn't require the presence of matter.
3. In this technique, the radiation that the body emits directly contributes to heat transfer.
4. The best example of radiation is the heating up of earth due to the sun.
Thus, the answer is radiation.
