A. The total energy can increase if energy is transferred into the
system from surroundings.
B. The total energy can decrease when energy is lost due to energy
transformation within the system.
C. Energy must be transferred out of a system if energy is
transferred into the system so that they total energy of the system
stays the same.
D. The total energy must remain the same, but energy can change
