B. Thermal energy
C. Amount of matter
D. Potential energy

B. Thermal energy

As the temperature increases, the thermal energy of the particles in a substance typically increases as well. Thermal energy is related to the kinetic energy of the particles, which increases as temperature rises. The amount of matter (C) does not change with temperature, and while the potential energy (D) can change due to temperature in some contexts, it is not a direct consequence of an increase in temperature like thermal energy is. The amount of particles (A) also does not change with temperature.
