Solution

The correct option is A
Loss of energy due to dissipation during conversion from one form to another

To carry out every activity, energy is required. So there may occur a loss of energy due to dissipation, friction, etc during its conversion from one form to another. This is known as energy degradation or decomposition of energy.
