Answer : (b) Thermal energy.
Explanation :
A stove is used for cooking food or in the laboratory. It produces thermal energy. It is produced due to the movement of particles inside any material.
When the temperature is increased, the particles move with much more velocities or we can say the kinetic energy of particles increases.
As a result, the thermal energy of particles raises.
In case of the burner on a stove, as heat is provided the particles move more rapidly and attains thermal energy.
Hence, the correct option is (b) Thermal energy.
