"It includes the idea that mass is a measure of the energy within an object."

Reason: mass–energy equivalence (E = mc^2) says mass is a form of energy — an object's mass corresponds to its energy content (rest energy and contributions from binding energy, etc.). The other choices are false: mass–energy is conserved (not arbitrarily created/destroyed), the correct formula is E = mc^2, and the principle does not claim all energy will become mass.
