Answer:

A basketball sitting still in a players hands

Step-by-step explanation:

The other 3 answers have the ball in motion (going towards the basket, bouncing, and rolling) so that would be kinetic energy.

When the basketball is sitting in the player's hands, it has the potential to be in motion.
