Answer:

elastic potential energy

Explanation: when the arrow reaches the top of its flight, it has zero kinetic energy and the initial elastic potential energy is now gravitational potential energy of the arrow.

Answer:

When the arrow is pulled back there is both elastic and gravitational potential energy in the arrow. When it is released the elastic potential transfers to kinetic energy and as the arrow moves closer towards the ground gravitational energy is tranferred into kinetic as well.
