ITS C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer :

.Internal energy is the total potential and kinetic energies in a substance, and thermal energy is the part of internal energy that can be transferred to another substance. Thus, option "C" is correct.

What is the thermal energy Meaning?

Thermal energy, is internal energy present in a system in a form of thermodynamic equilibrium probity by its temperature.
