Answer:

Activation energy

Explanation:

In cars , fuel is burned to produce heat energy. This burning of fuel is a chemical reaction, and to start a chemical reaction some minimum amount of energy is required to start the reaction called Activation energy . So here the energy provided through car ignition is supplied to give some energy to start the burning of the fuel .

Hence the correct choice is Activation energy .
