The correct response to the relationship between kinetic energy and thermal energy is:
**As the kinetic energy in a substance’s atoms increases, its thermal energy increases, and vice versa.**
This reflects the understanding that thermal energy is related to the motion of the particles; as their kinetic energy (motion) increases, the overall thermal energy of the substance increases as well.
