Answer:

B. Any object that has motion has potential energy, wow any object not in motion light with the potential to do work and kinetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. Kinetic Energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
