Energy is defined as stored energy

there is a word before energy  and the answer is potential

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is related to the motion. Hence, any object which is in motion will have kinetic energy associated with the object and an object at rest will have zero kinetic energy.

Any object which has a potential to do work in the future has potential energy associated with it. For example: A compressed spring has potential energy stored in it and it gets converted into the work by keeping an object in front of it.

Hence, the option B is correct.
