C. stored energy
Potential energy refers to the energy that is stored in an object due to its position, condition, or configuration, making "stored energy" the best description among the options provided.

Yes, I can confirm that **C. stored energy** is the correct description of potential energy.
Potential energy is associated with the position of an object within a force field (like gravitational or elastic potential energy) and is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy (the energy of motion) when the position changes. Therefore, it accurately represents the concept of energy that is stored and has the potential to do work.
