Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An elastic object is defined as the object that is able to retain its shape when a force is applied on it.
For example, when we pull a rubber band then it stretches and when we withdraw the force applied on it then it retain its shape.
As we know that potential energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its position.
So, when we stretch a rubber band then it will have elastic potential energy as position of the rubber band is changing and since, it will retain it shape hence it has elastic potential energy.
Thus, we can conclude that a stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy.
