Answer:

chemical potential energy​

Step-by-step explanation:

A 9v battery comes in different formats, such that the most common one is the carbon-zinc and alkaline chemistry, so these are alkaline batteries (there are also rechargeable or lithium batteries, these also depend on chemical interactions).

These batteries "draw" the energy from chemical interactions of the materials inside of it, so the type of potential energy that is stored in a battery is actually chemical (regardless of the fact that the energy can be transformed into electrical energy later) the "potential" refers to how the energy is stored.

Then the correct option is chemical potential energy​
