To find:
The amount of potential energy possessed by an object is equal to which of the given quantities?
Step-by-step explanation:
The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position.
To lift an object to a certain height, a certain amount of work needs to be done. This work done on the object to lift it will be stored in the object as theopotential energy.
Final answer:
Thus the correct answer is option B, 'the work done in lifting.'
