The flow diagram that BEST explains the energy transformations that occur within an automobile running on diesel is:
**A: chemical energy → kinetic energy → heat energy**
In this process, the diesel fuel contains chemical energy which is released during combustion in the engine, converting it into kinetic energy that moves the vehicle. Some energy is also lost as heat energy during this process due to engine inefficiencies and heat produced from the combustion.
