The correct response would be:
**when it interacts with other electrons, decreasing its speed.**
In such interactions, if the electron loses kinetic energy (decreasing its speed) due to the influence of another charged particle, that lost kinetic energy can be converted into potential energy as the distance between the charges changes, particularly in electromagnetic interactions.
