Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is thermal energy/ kinetic energy.. because friction on hands promotes thermal energy. because you want your hands 2 be warm, rubbing them 2gether creates heat and absorption of heat thru the skin which skin is susceptible to warm, humans can put hands under arm pits to warm hands, without any available heat source..
