MCQ
A body at rest can have:
  • A
    Kinetic Energy
  • B
    Momentum
  • C
    Both momentum and kinetic Energy
  • Potential Energy

Answer

Correct option: D.
Potential Energy

 A body at rest can have potential energy because $PE$ is due to position of object but it does not have kinetic energy because $KE$ is due to motion but object is at rest so no $KE$ will be present.Momentum is also not present because momentum is due to velocity and velocity is zero in this case.
For example an object at a roof at rest have no $KE$ but it has gravitational potential energy due to it's height above ground given by mgh.
