The correct choice is: The gas and food are examples of energy.
Why: Gas and food are stores of chemical (potential) energy. Work is the process of transferring energy (for example an engine doing work on the wheels, or muscles doing work to move limbs). Fuel/food provide energy that is converted (by engines or metabolism) into work, heat, motion, etc.
