An object that has kinetic energy must be
A
lifted above Earth’s surface
B
in motion
C
at rest
D
changing direction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In physics, we know that the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Hence, An object that has kinetic energy must be in motion i.e, moving.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle and depends not only on its motion but also on its mass. The kind of motion may be translation (or motion along a path from one place to another), rotation about an axis, vibration, or any combination of motions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since kinetic energy is based on motion, it is always a positive value. If it is not in motion, the kinetic energy of that object is zero.
