Answer:

An apple on a tree

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by the body due to its height from the ground level.

The formula for the potential energy is given by

PE = m g h

Where, m is the mass of object, g be the acceleration due to gravity and h be the height of object from the ground.

An apple on a tree has some height from the ground so it has gravitational potential energy.
