Answer:

A book held high over a desk

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, or GPE, is like height energy. The higher up an object is placed, the more GPE it has. Gravitational potential energy is the potential of a certain mass relative to another due to gravity. In this case you have a book held high over a desk and therefore since it's higher up it's going to have more potential energy due to gravity, which is why it has gravitational potential energy. Therefore your answer is "a book held high over a desk".
