Detailed Solution

Heat transfer in boiling of water and in land and sea breezes is primarily due to convection. A metal rod placed over a flame is heated primarily by conduction. Heat transfer by convection and conduction takes place through matter (or medium). The electric bulb is evacuated. Hence heat transfer in an electric bulb is not due to conduction or convection.
