The correct answer is A. For B, C, and D, Sarah comes into contact with these forms of stored (harnessed) energy, but only static electricity is "natural" in this regard.

Naturally-occurring electricity would be a little different."Sarah was lightly shocked when she inserted the plug of her lamp in the wall socket.". This option would be nearly known. It would happen, and this would all depend on what you would touch. And therefore, this would be your answer.
