The option with kinetic energy is:
**a spring traveling down a flight of stairs.**
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, so only the spring that is moving (traveling down the stairs) possesses kinetic energy. The other options (stretched spring, spring at the top of stairs, and compressed spring) have potential energy rather than kinetic energy, as they are not in motion.
