Which is an example of dry-heat cooking?

Explanation:
Dry-heat cooking relies on heat transfer through air, fat, or radiation rather than water. Grilling uses direct radiant heat from a hot source (and surrounding hot air) to cook the food without submerging it in liquid, producing quick cooking and surface browning. That combination—no water, high heat, and browning—defines dry-heat methods. The other options involve water at some stage: poaching and blanching use hot water, and steaming uses steam, all of which are moist-heat techniques. So grilling is the dry-heat example.
