potential energy is energy that a body possess by virtue of its position, while kinetic energy is energy that a body possess by virtue of its speed. could there be an energy that a body possess by virtue of its acceleration?

acceleration is changing speed, which falls under kinetic energy
Well, yes, acceleration is rate of change of velocity so kinetic energy is connected to acceleration indirectly. However I suspect that the answer the author is looking for to the poorly worded question (for anyone who knows that the time integral of acceleration is velocity) is that no, there is no direct relationship between acceleration and energy.
