What is the name of the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?

Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy
Solar Energy
Chemical energy

The correct answer is: Potential Energy

An object at rest does not have kinetic energy because it is not in motion. Solar energy is the type of energy that comes from the sun, so it doesn't apply to an object at rest. Chemical energy is the type of energy stored in chemical bonds, so this also does not apply to an object at rest. Potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. This makes it the correct answer for an object at rest, which still has the potential to have energy when it is in motion.
