It sounds like the arrow is flying as we tune in. So it has kinetic energy.

Answer: A. Kinetic

Explanation:

A body possesses kinetic energy by virtue of motion.

A body possesses potential energy by virtue of its position.

When molecular bonds break, chemical energy is produced.

Transfer of thermal energy from one body to another is known as heat.

In the given situation, the arrow was held by the person i the bow. At that time, it possessed potential energy. Thereafter, the arrow is in motion and is moving forward towards the target. Thus, kinetic energy is being described.
