A book sitting on a table has potential energy because of the gravitational pull of Earth. Which of the following would increase the potential energy of the book? A)Sliding it across the table C) Dropping it on the floor B)Opening it to the middle D) Lifting it to a high shelf

D) Lifting it to a high shelf

Explanation:

Potential energy is where energy could be released at any moment. For example, if a cat gets on a tree it's creating potential energy, once that cat jumps from the tree the energy releases. D is the answers because if you set the book in a high shelf, you are only creating more potential energy.

hope I explain my self well enough

cheers man and good luck

the closer the planet is to the sun, the larger the gravity
