The correct response is:
As the kinetic energy in a substance’s atoms increases, its thermal energy increases, and vice versa.
This is because thermal energy is related to the motion (kinetic energy) of the particles in a substance. As the particles move faster (increased kinetic energy), the thermal energy of the substance increases, leading to an increase in temperature.
