"Kinetic" energy is the energy of motion.

The ball in the glove is not moving. It's just laying there. (B)

So it has no kinetic energy.

All the other choices describe something moving, so they all have some.

The answer is B. A baseball in a catchers glove because that ball is not moving, therefore has no kinetic energy. Hope this helps :)
