$A$ body is executing simple harmonic motion. At a displacement $x$,its potential energy is $E_1$ and at a displacement $y$,its potential energy is $E_2$. The potential energy $E$ at a displacement $(x + y)$ is

  • A
    $E_1 + E_2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{E_1^2 + E_2^2}$
  • C
    $E_1 + E_2 + 2\sqrt{E_1 E_2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{E_1 + E_2}$
