Solution

The correct option is B kinetic
Kinetic energy is where the energy is stored due to the motion of mass. When the water is at rest it possess potential energy. But in river as water keeps on flowing continuously the potential energy stored in water is converted into kinetic energy.
Hence the flowing water of a river possesses kinetic energy.
