Explanation:

• When heat is added through a temperature difference (a form of energy transfer), the kinetic energy of molecules increases, leading to more molecular motion.
• Absorbing energy (which can be in the form of heat or other energy types relevant to molecular systems) also increases the kinetic energy of molecules, enhancing molecular motion.
• Losing heat through a temperature difference or releasing energy would decrease the kinetic energy of molecules, reducing molecular motion.

Answer:

Adding heat through a temperature difference, Absorbing energy
