I chose A.

Correct! The brick has potential energy due to its position on top of the wall.

That is correct! A brick sitting motionless on top of a wall has potential energy. Potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position or condition. In this case, the brick has potential energy because it has the potential to fall and gain kinetic energy when it is released from the top of the wall.
