Final answer:

Each scenario represents a different type of energy: A man jogging (Kinetic Energy), a charged camera battery (Chemical Energy), a stove burner (Thermal Energy), and an apple in a tree (Gravitational Potential Energy).

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenarios present different forms of energy. Matching each scenario to the corresponding form of energy, we get:

  • (a) A man jogging in the park represents Kinetic Energy because he is in motion.
  • (b) A fully charged camera battery holds Chemical Energy due to the chemical reactions that can occur when the battery is used.
  • (c) A stove burner that's turned on generates Thermal Energy as a result of the heat it produces.
  • (d) An apple on a tree has Gravitational Potential Energy because of its position above the ground.
