Which change would correct the error in his chart?

A. Add "potential energy" to the description of temperature.
B. Switch the term "heat" with the term "thermal energy."
C. Change the kinetic energy description from "energy of motion" to "stored energy."
D. Replace the term "temperature" with "internal energy."

To correct the error in the chart, take a look at the terms and their descriptions:

1. Heat is described as "part of internal energy that can be transferred." This is not accurate. Heat is actually energy in transit due to temperature difference.

2. Temperature is correctly described as "average kinetic energy of particles."

3. Kinetic Energy is correctly described as "energy of motion."

4. Thermal Energy is described as "energy that flows due to temperature differences." This is actually the description of heat, not thermal energy.

Given this, the corrective action needed would be:

- Switch the term "heat" with the term "thermal energy."

Here’s why:
- "Heat" should be described as "energy that flows due to temperature differences."
- "Thermal energy" should be described as the "part of internal energy that can be transferred."

Choosing this correction will make the descriptions of the chart accurate:
- Heat: energy that flows due to temperature differences.
- Thermal Energy: part of internal energy that can be transferred.

Hence, the answer is:

Switch the term "heat" with the term "thermal energy."
