Solution

A wire clamped at both the ends is struck in the middle. It will possess vibrational kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When the wire is struck in the middle, it vibrates to and fro about its mean position, so it possesses vibrational kinetic energy. It does not show translational or rotational motion as a whole.
