B Correct answer
Explanation

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion - literally 'energy in motion.' The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. Potential energy (C) is stored energy based on position, Brownian motion (A) is random particle movement, and 'vectorial' (D) is not a standard energy type.
