The correct statement is: "Heat is transferred from the metal block to the ice cube, and the ice melts."
Explanation:
When an ice cube is placed on a metal block at a higher temperature, heat is transferred from the metal block to the ice cube. This is because heat always flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object. As heat is transferred to the ice cube, it causes the ice to melt. Therefore, the ice cube absorbs heat from the metal block, causing it to melt.
