The best description of energy changes in a system is:

B) energy is conserved, and it cannot be created or destroyed.

This principle is known as the law of conservation of energy, which states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. Energy can change forms (e.g., from kinetic to potential energy), but the total amount of energy does not change.
