Question

when the molecules of a body move less rapidly, heat energy in the body is ______. answer options: select one of four reduced dispersed increased absorbed

Explanation:

Heat energy is related to the kinetic energy of molecules. When molecules move less rapidly, their kinetic energy (and thus heat energy) decreases. "Reduced" fits this concept. "Dispersed" refers to spreading out, "increased" is opposite, and "absorbed" implies taking in energy (which would increase molecular motion).

Answer:

A. reduced
