Answer:

Energy conservation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that
\Delta U=Q-W, which means that if we substract the work W done by the system to the heat Q given to the system we get the change in the internal energy
\Delta U, so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.
