The response that has kinetic energy is:
**a spring traveling down a flight of stairs**
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, so an object in motion, such as the spring traveling down the stairs, possesses kinetic energy. The other options, such as a stretched or compressed spring, have potential energy due to their deformation but do not have kinetic energy unless they are in motion.
