Answer: It is a leaf hanging on a tree

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is energy that is stored and ready to be transformed to kinetic energy when it becomes in motion.

A light bulb has heat and light energy, so it can't be that

A mouse eating cheese is the mouse taking in chemical energy, so no

A car sitting in the driveway has chemical potential energy because it cant move unless the ignition transforms into kinetic energy.

So the only option left is a leaf hanging on a tree.
