Answer:

c) proportional to the square of the amount the spring that is stretched from its equilibrium length

Explanation:

according to Hooke's law, the elastic potential energy of a spring is:

[tex]U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2[/tex]

where:

K is the spring constant

x is the distance that the spring's is compressed.

as you can notice the distance is squared, so the energy is proportional to the square of the compressed distance.
