Final answer:

The correct answer is c. a rolling bowling ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. a rolling bowling ball.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It depends on the mass and velocity of the object. In this case, a rolling bowling ball has kinetic energy because it is moving. The other options do not involve motion and therefore do not have kinetic energy.

For example, a rock poised for a fall has only potential energy, as it does not possess motion. An archer's bow that is drawn back also has potential energy stored in the stretched bowstring, but it does not have kinetic energy until the arrow is released. A car waiting at a red light is stationary and not in motion, so it does not have kinetic energy.
