The given statement is an example of one form of energy is being converted to another

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

A car is is stopped due to the application of brakes to bring it back to rest. This is an example of kinetic energy as work is done to stop the car. When brakes are applied, heat is produced due to the friction between the wheels and the brakeshoes which is an example of heat or thermal energy. Hence kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy in this application.
