The correct response is:
**when it interacts with other electrons, decreasing its speed.**
In this scenario, as the electron slows down (loses kinetic energy), that energy is transformed into potential energy due to the interaction with other electrons (which involves electrical forces).
**when it interacts with other electrons, decreasing its speed.**
