Respuesta

From the hot stone to the cold bucket of water.

Explicación

Thermal energy always flows from a hotter object to a cooler one until they reach thermal equilibrium. In this case, the hot stone is at a higher temperature than the cold bucket of water. Therefore, the thermal energy will flow from the hot stone to the cold bucket of water.
