Correct answer
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy decreases. Friction brakes transform part of it into heat. A regenerative system can convert part into electrical energy stored in the battery. The recovered or dissipated proportion depends on the system and conditions; energy does not disappear and not every braking event produces mainly heat.
