The correct answer is: the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance.

To understand what thermal energy is, we need to break it down. Thermal energy is a form of energy that involves the motion of particles within a substance. It is a measurement of the total kinetic energy of all the particles in that substance.

To explain further, kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. In the case of thermal energy, it refers to the movement of atoms or molecules within a substance. The more the particles move, the more kinetic energy they have, resulting in higher thermal energy.

To calculate the thermal energy of a substance, you need to consider the mass of the object and its temperature. The equation is often written as:

Thermal energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Where:
- Mass refers to the amount of substance present.
- Specific heat capacity is a property of the material that describes how much heat energy it can store.
- Change in temperature refers to the difference between the initial and final temperatures.

By using this equation, you can determine the amount of thermal energy in an object or substance.
