A
Sound Energy
B
Nuclear Energy
C
Chemical Energy
D
Gravitational Potential Energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sound energy can be both: either kinetic energy or potential energy. An example might be that of a musical instrument. When the instrument is played, it generates sound waves, producing kinetic energy. But when that same musical instrument is at rest, only the potential for energy is there.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are six types of potential energy: mechanical energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, radiant energy, nuclear energy, and thermal energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate. That is, the energy is transferred through the substance in a wave. So, sound is a form of energy.
