The correct answer is activation.

Activation energy is the minimum energy required by the reactant species to start a chemical reaction.

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Potential energy is possessed by an object when it is a rest.

Nuclear energy is the energy released during the process of nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
