energy flows from water molecules to ice molecules.
energy flows from ice to water.
no energy transfer occurs.
energy flows equally both ways.

Explanation:

When ice melts in warmer ocean water, heat (energy) is transferred from the warmer water molecules to the cooler ice molecules. Heat always flows from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.

Energy flows from water molecules to ice molecules.
