The correct answer is:
1. The energy heats your home.
When you pay for heating, the energy is used to increase the temperature of your home. While some energy may be lost to the outside environment (which is why good insulation is important), the primary purpose of the energy you pay for is to heat the interior of your home. The other options are not accurate in this context, as energy cannot simply disappear (option 2), it does not predominantly escape to heat the outside (option 3), and it does not change into mass under these circumstances (option 4).
