Zero
Explanation:
It really has to do with the reference point of where the ball is and where the ground is.
Taking what we have here we can use the equation
And plug in the numbers for mass gravity and the height
The zero height means that the ball has no potential energy.

No potential energy or
Explanation:
Potential energy is given by the equation,
#m# is the mass of the ball in kilograms
#g# is the gravitational acceleration, which is#9.8 \ "m/s"^2#
#h# is the height of the platform the ball is standing on
So, here,
In conclusion, the ball has no potential energy.
