The vacuum and silvered wall surfaces of a vacuum flask walls are respectively 
minimize conduction and convection and prevent radiation
prevent conduction and convection and minimize radiation
prevent conduction and minimize convection and radiation
minimize convection and prevent conduction and radiation

Explanation

Vacuum: It prevents conduction and convection because there are no air molecules to transfer heat.
Silvered Walls: They minimize radiation by reflecting thermal radiation back.
