Which describes how a microwave transfers heat to leftover mashed potatoes?

radiation excites the motions of water molecules in the food, raising their total kinetic energy

the hot oven comes in contact with the cold food and heat is transferred until both are at the same temperature

heated air currents circulate around the food, transferring their kinetic energy to the food particles

spinning the food on a turntable transfers kinetic energy to the food particles
