Answer:

A. An electric motor hums as it powers a conveyor belt

D. A car engine heats up while the car is being driven.

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy inefficiency usually involves loss of energy as other forms when they are being converted from one form to another.

The two choices that fit the description includes;

  • An electric motor humming as it powers a conveyor belt. This energy conversion is supposed to be from electrical to mechanical energy but there is a loss due to the sound energy produced by the motor.
  • Heat energy produced as the car is driven also results in energy inefficiency.

Other choices do not show this inefficiency.
