Solution

The correct option is B Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its state of motion. So, a body at rest cannot possess kinetic energy. A body at rest will possess potential energy. Thermal and magnetic energies are irrespective of state of rest or of motion of a body.
