A baker touches a pie right after taking it out of the oven. Which statement best explains why the pie feels hot?

A
Molecules in the skin move faster than molecules in the pie, so heat is transferred to the pie.
B
Molecules in the pie move faster than molecules in the skin, so heat is transferred to the skin.
