In thermodynamics, the "system" refers to the part of the universe we are studying, while the "surroundings" encompass everything outside that system. In this case, the pot of stew is the system. Therefore, the appropriate answer would be:
**The energy cooking the stew.**
This is because the energy (heat) is part of the surroundings that impacts the system (the stew) but is not part of the system itself. The other options (the stew, the lid, and the pan) are all part of the system.
