A. A spring is compressed — elastic potential energy (stored mechanical energy in the spring).

B. Oxygen bonds with carbon — chemical potential energy (energy stored in chemical bonds).

C. An electron generates an electric field — electric (electrostatic) field energy / electric potential energy (energy stored in the electric field).

D. A soccer ball rolls along the grass — kinetic energy (translational mechanical energy of motion).
