What is the most likely evidence of an energy transformation taking place when a hotplate that has a beaker containing solid wax placed on it is turned on?

a Wax starts melting as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy
b Beaker starts moving as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy
c Wax starts melting as kinetic energy is transformed into gravitational energy
d Beaker starts moving as kinetic energy is transformed into gravitational energy

The answer is A, as the wax melts it’s start to turn into liquid, which is then very hot (transformed into thermal energy). (Hope this helps :3)
