II, only

Answer 1

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. Let's analyze each scenario:

I. Water is running - Water in motion has kinetic energy.
II. A car is parked on a hill - The car is stationary, so it does not have kinetic energy; however, it has potential energy due to its position.
III. One liter of gasoline sits on a bench - The gasoline is also stationary, so it does not have kinetic energy.

Based on this analysis, the only scenario that has kinetic energy is:

**I, only**.
