The correct answer is **B: thermal energy**.
As the temperature increases, the thermal energy of a substance also increases. Thermal energy is directly related to the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance, meaning that as temperature rises, the average energy of the particles increases, leading to more vigorous motion.
The other options are not directly correct in the context of temperature increases:
- **A: amount of particles** - The number of particles does not change with temperature.
- **C: amount of matter** - The amount of matter (mass) remains constant regardless of temperature.
- **D: potential energy** - While potential energy can change in certain situations (e.g., phase changes), it is not directly correlated with temperature increases in the same way that thermal energy is.
