What are the two kinds of mechanical energy?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is held because of position or a change of shape; kinetic energy is held because of motion.

A body can hold both at once. A ball thrown upwards is moving and is also above the ground.
