The correct statement about the energies in the system when the two magnets move to attach to each other is:
**The energy stored in the system is converted to kinetic, thermal, and sound energy.**
When the magnets attract each other, the potential energy due to their magnetic fields is converted into kinetic energy (as they move towards each other), thermal energy (due to friction and interactions at the surfaces), and sound energy (if there is a noise produced when they snap together).
