Question:

1212Which computer components is being shown in this picture?

A CPU heat sink and fan.
explanation

Heat sinks are commonly made of metal and have several fins to enhance surface area and dissipate heat faster. Many recent CPU coolers include a fan (which requires power to operate) as well as a finned metal heat sink. Passive heat sinks do not require power (hence no fan), and additional cooling fans are typically mounted to the case.
