Answer 1

The statement that best explains the change in available energy is:

Energy is regularly changing from one form into another.

This reflects the principle of the conservation of energy and acknowledges that while the total energy remains constant, its forms (such as kinetic, potential, thermal, etc.) can change, affecting its availability to do work.
