Answer:
The answer is: A
Step-by-step explanation:
Thermal energy (also called heat energy): is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
Chemical energy: is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. This energy is released when a chemical reaction takes place. Usually, once chemical energy has been released from a substance, that substance is transformed into a completely new substance.
When you light the match, a chemical reaction is occurring first, and then heat will flare (thermal energy).
Let me know if anything is wrong! During my research, I noticed that mechanical energy occurs first (the option is not here), and it's related to chemical energy, so that was my decision.
