Solution

The correct option is B False
Potential energy: energy possessed by the position or height of the object.
Kinetic energy: energy possessed by the motion of the object.
A stretched bow acquires potential energy due to its position.
When force is released potential energy is converted to kinetic energy for the arrow.
So, A stretched bow and arrow system has potential energy.
Hence, the statement is false.
