D Correct answer
Explanation

Heat, sound, and light are all forms of energy that can be transferred or transformed. Heat is thermal energy, sound is mechanical wave energy, and light is electromagnetic energy. The nucleus is a physical part of an atom composed of protons and neutrons, not a form of energy itself. Energy can be stored in nuclear forces within the nucleus, but the nucleus itself is matter.
