What type of energy is stored in a battery?

  1. Thermal

  2. Kinetic

  3. Nuclear

  4. Chemical

The correct answer is: Chemical

All of the other options are incorrect because a battery does not store energy in the form of thermal, kinetic, or nuclear energy. A battery stores energy through a chemical reaction, specifically converting chemical energy into electrical energy. This chemical energy is stored in the battery's components, such as the electrodes and electrolyte solution, and is released as electrical energy when the battery is connected to a circuit. Therefore, the correct answer is D Chemical.
