C Correct answer
Explanation

Spoon containing boiled milk is hot as energy transfers from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature. Boiled milk is at higher temperature and spoon is at lower temperature. Wood is an insulator as it does not conduct heat. So, it does not become hot. After energy transfer takes place, the spoon becomes hot or warm.
