A) the energy of change

B) the energy of position or composition

C) the energy of mass or volume

D) the energy of motion

B.) the energy of position or composition

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or composition relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.

The correct answer is B) the energy of position or composition

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as that capacity that a given body has to perform a job according to its position. Example: a spring, when compressed or stretched (it is elastic potential energy).
