A) an archer with a flexed bow B) a person sitting on a couch while watching TV
C) a space station orbiting Earth D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) a space station orbiting Earth

Explanation:

Any moving object can exhibit kinetic energy, as kinetic energy is also known as Motional energy.

In the given options, only a space station orbiting Earth is in motion and all the other are in rest position.
