The correct response is:

**Since heat flows from the hot pot to the cold water, the total energy of the cold water will increase.**

When you place cold water into a hot pot, heat energy flows from the hot pot to the cold water, causing the temperature and energy of the cold water to increase as it absorbs heat and eventually reaches its boiling point.
