A
heat
B
energy
C
pressure
D
temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1 Joule (J) is the MKS unit of energy, equal to the force of one Newton acting through one meter. 1 Watt is the power from a current of 1 Ampere flowing through 1 Volt. 1 kilowatt is a thousand Watts. 1 kilowatt-hour is the energy of one kilowatt power flowing for one hour.

Detailed explanation-2: -joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre. Named in honour of the English physicist James Prescott Joule, it equals 107 ergs, or approximately 0.7377 foot-pounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The joule has base units of kg·m²/s² = N·m. A joule is defined as the work done or energy required to exert a force of one newton for a distance of one metre.

Detailed explanation-4: -One joule is defined as the amount of energy exerted when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter.
