Video transcript

Hey everyone, so ask which of the following statement is true, based on the first law of thermodynamics. So the first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only altered inform. So this can't be A because it says energy is destroyed and it can't be seen because it says energy is neither destroyed nor conserved or d because it says energy is neither created or conserved. So the answer's gonna be be thanks for watching my video, and I hope it was helpful.
