Solution

The correct option is B
False

The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its changed position or configuration is called the potential energy. A moving train does not gain any height and hence, it has no potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its state of motion. Since moving train always has velocity, it will possess only kinetic energy.
