Solution

The correct option is C

both potential and kinetic energy


  1. Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy.
  2. The bodies in motion are capable of doing work, and hence, possess energy.
  3. Potential energy: The energy possessed by a body due to its position or height is called kinetic energy.
  4. Thus, due to the flying height, an aeroplane possesses potential energy, and due to the velocity, an aeroplane possesses kinetic energy.

Hence, option C is correct.
