Answer:

The answer would be B. (ps. you put this in the wrong category, but it's fine)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is hard to explain but I will try anyway.

The football starts of with kinetic energy, meaning that the energy is from moving, and then goes ot gravitational potential energy, meaning that the energy is from the potential (meaning able to be used) gravitational (the pulling of gravity) energy.

I hope this helps! :)
