Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The refrigerator transfers internal energy from inside to outside through a process of compression and expansion of a refrigerant fluid. This results in cooling the inside of the fridge while releasing heat outside, which makes it an example of a heat pump. So it is transferring internal energy from inside to outside. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
