Solution

The correct option is B elastic potential
A stretched spring possesses elastic potential energy. This is because elastic potential energy is the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an object ( in this case the spring is stretched ). Elastic potential energy is equal to the work done to stretch the spring which depends on the spring constant K as well as by how much distance it is stretched.
