    Option B

    Tile is a good conductor : a carpet is a good insulator

    Explanation:

    When the feet comes in contact with the tile, the tile conducts heat from the body making one to feel cold. However, since carpet is made of insulators such as cotton, they don't conduct heat, therefore, it slows down the flow of the heat which would make it feel warm so our feet do not feel much more colder as it does with the tiles.

    B) Tile is a good conductor : a carpet is a good insulator

    Explanation:

    Heat travels from hot to cold. Your feet are warmer than the tile. The tile is a conductor and when you step on it, heat from your body transfers to the tile making it feel cool.
