Question

conduction occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of waves molecules liquids fluids

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact and movement of molecules. Waves are related to radiation or some other physical - wave phenomena. Liquids and fluids are substances, not the fundamental entities involved in conduction at the microscopic level. Molecules are the key here as they transfer heat energy through collisions in conduction.

Answer:

molecules
