Answer:

Point A

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by stretching or compressing a spring is given by E=1/2kx²

The potential energy is numerically equal to the work done.

This means that the higher the bigger the value of the extension, x, the higher the energy contained.

In this scenario the modulus of x is considered.

Among the given values of x the modulus of -5 is the largest.

thus it gives the highest value of energy.
