Answer:

B. Strain energy

Read Explanation:

When a structural member is strained due to external loads, the energy stored in it is called strain energy. It is a type of potential energy that is stored in the member due to elastic deformation. The formula for strain energy is

U = \frac{P ^ 2 L}{2AE}
