  • B. Nuclear energy
  • C. Potential energy
  • D. Electric energy
Correct Answer: Option C - The potential energy possessed by the object is the energy present in it by virtue of its position or configuration that means potential energy is a stored energy in the object when work is done on the object but there is no change in the velocity or speed of the object.
C. The potential energy possessed by the object is the energy present in it by virtue of its position or configuration that means potential energy is a stored energy in the object when work is done on the object but there is no change in the velocity or speed of the object.
