Answer
Elastic potential energy
Reason — When an object is deformed (stretched, compressed, or bent), it stores energy within itself due to the deformation. This energy is called elastic potential energy. It arises from the forces within the object's material that act to restore it to its original shape and size when the deforming force is removed.
