Answer

Correct option: A.
Energy of an object due to its position or arrangement in a system
The potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position.
some examples of potential energies are gravitational potential energy, Electrostatic potential energy and elastic energy etc.
A body placed at ground will have less gravitational potential energy than a body placed at some height. therefore, potential energy changes by changing the position of object.
