When energy changes forms, it can transform into various types, and some of these forms are not directly usable to perform work. The option that represents a form of energy that, when produced, cannot easily do work is:
C) Heat
Heat energy, while a form of energy, tends to disperse and become more disordered rather than being readily available to perform work in many situations. This dispersal makes it challenging to convert all the heat energy back into useful work. In various energy conversions, a portion of the energy might transform into heat, but this heat often becomes less available for work and tends to spread out into the surroundings, resulting in increased entropy.
