The correct statement based on the Law of Conservation of Energy is:

Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.

This principle asserts that the total energy in a closed system remains constant, though it can change forms (e.g., potential energy can convert to kinetic energy, etc.). The other statements provided are incorrect interpretations of energy relationships.
