Hi there!
Kinetic Energy (1/2 · mass · velocity²) occurs when an object is in motion, or a force is occurring on the object. An example would be a car in motion.
Potential energy (mass · height · gravity ) is obtained when an object has the ability to do work. An example would be an object on a shelf. It has the potential to fall, and this would cause the potential energy to become converted into kinetic energy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the examples in the table, we can sort them as such:
Girl swimming laps- Kinetic energy because the girl is in motion.
Boy on diving board - Potential energy because the boy is not in motion, but has the potential to be in motion.
Girl hitting volleyball - Kinetic energy because the volleyball is in motion.
Boy holding volleyball- Potential energy because the volleyball is stationary and has the potential to be in motion.
Therefore, the correct table is table 1.
