The option that has kinetic energy is:
**a spring traveling down a flight of stairs**
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and since this spring is in motion as it travels down the stairs, it possesses kinetic energy. The other options involve springs that are either at rest or in a static state (stretched or compressed) and thus do not have kinetic energy at that moment.
