Which statement in the paragraph makes a clear distinction between potential and kinetic energy?

John read this paragraph about two kinds of energy:

Potential energy is stored energy, or energy that is not being used. A standing bowling pin at the end of an alley has potential energy because it is not moving. Kinetic energy is energy of motion. A falling bowling pin has kinetic energy. An object’s energy changes from potential energy to kinetic energy when it moves.

Answer: An objects energy changes from potential energy to kinetic energy when it move

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object is standing still it has the 'potential' to have energy and to move, but when it does move, it has kinetic energy because it is in the process of moving
