Which of these correctly describes how a system can store potential energy on the microscopic level?”
A. The particles must have position with regards to a reference point if the system stores potential energy
B. The particles must be in motion if the system stores potential energy
C. The particles must be at rest if the system stores potential energy
D. The particles must be held together with springs in order to store potential energy
It's not B so is it C?

This has to be the worse question and set of "answers" I have ever seen published. More directly, the question arises, is the author versed in energy storage systems at all? Steam stores energy, for example. Batteries store potential energy in chemical bonds. In cells, energy is stored as CHO bonds. ATP stores energy. None of the answers are correct.
I know this old, but I did the quiz and I got A as the correct answer for anybody else searching.
