Answer:

C. Entropy

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat is defined as the energy transferred from a hotter to a cooler body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a body in motion.

Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity that could be defined as a mesure of the disorder of a system. For a ordered crystal, entropy is zero.

Activation energy is defined as the minimum quantity of energy required to activate a particular chemical process.

I hope it helps!
