The correct response is:

As the kinetic energy in a substance’s atoms increases, its thermal energy increases, and vice versa.

This statement accurately reflects the relationship between kinetic energy and thermal energy. As the particles in a substance move faster (higher kinetic energy), the thermal energy of the substance also increases.
