The correct answer is B) the weather patterns outside.

The situation that is an example of transferring heat by means of convection is "the weather patterns outside."

In scientific terms, we talk about convection as a means of transferring heat due to the movement of fluids. For example, when the heat is transferred in gases or also in liquids. The Sun does not transmit heat through convection. The Sun transmits radiation and that is how it warms planet Earth.
