Answer 1

I will be your Princess charming and tell you that the answer is B. Matter changes forms on earth, but energy does not. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The matter seems to get lost on Earth, however, energy gets converted from one form to another. The eventual source of energy is the Sun, the energy is captivated and then is converted from one form to another. While the matter on Earth does not get transformed from one form to another, as it gets destroyed, like the plant and other matter on the Earth gets destroyed after its death. Thus, it can be concluded that energy is conserved, while matter gets destroyed on the planet Earth.
