Answer

False.<br /><br />The primary method of energy transfer in the convective zone is **convection**. Hot plasma rises, cools, and sinks back down, creating a cycle that moves energy outward. Conduction plays a minor role, and radiation is the primary method in the radiative zone below the convective zone.<br />
