The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: We have a tumbler containing water at a certain temperature and we are adding a lump of ice to it. 2. **Identifying Temperature Differences**: The temperature of the water is higher than the temperature of the ice. This is important because heat transfer occurs from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. 3. **Direction of Heat Flow**: Since the water is at a higher temperature compared to the ice, heat will flow from the water to the ice. This is in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows from hot to cold. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, when we add a lump of ice to the tumbler of water, the heat flows from the water to the ice. **Final Answer**: Heat flows from the water to the ice. ---
