B) Energy can be transformed form one type to another (e.g., potential to kinetic).

C) Energy can be created spontaneously from nothing.

D) Matter can be transformed into energy in a chemical reaction.

Answer 1

B.

Answer 2

First Law of Thermodynamics can be stated as: the increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the system, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the system on its surroundings.

Therefore, B is the most correct answer listed.
