The second law of thermodynamics states that useful energy is always
A
increasing
B
being stored
C
being lost
D
being created
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In every energy transfer, some amount of energy is lost in a form that is unusable. In most cases, this energy is in the form of heat. Thermodynamically, heat energy is defined as the energy transferred from one system to another that is not doing work.

Detailed explanation-2: -The second law of thermodynamics states that every energy transfer involves some loss of energy in an unusable form, such as heat energy, resulting in a more disordered system. In other words, no energy transfer is completely efficient and tends toward disorder.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated system, will always increase over time. The second law also states that the changes in the entropy in the universe can never be negative.

Detailed explanation-4: -The second law of thermodynamics is a physical law based on universal experience concerning heat and energy interconversions. One simple statement of the law is that heat always moves from hotter objects to colder objects (or “downhill"), unless energy in some form is supplied to reverse the direction of heat flow.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Second Law of Thermodynamics Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change from more-useful forms into less-useful forms. As it turns out, in every real-world energy transfer or transformation, some amount of energy is converted to a form that’s unusable (unavailable to do work).
