Answer: "an arrow released from the bow" (option 3).
Why: kinetic energy is energy of motion — an arrow in flight is carrying kinetic energy (and is the launched particle). The drawn bow with the string pulled back (option 2) represents stored elastic potential energy. An arrow stuck in a target (option 1) shows the energy after transfer (work done, heat/deformation) rather than ongoing kinetic energy. An arrow being strung with the string straight (option 4) is just a neutral, low-energy state.
