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