Answer:

C) A car at point B has more kinetic energy than the car at point D.

Step-by-step explanation:

When it travels from A to B, it passes it with a lot of kinetic energy (motion energy).

When it comes to point D, it slows down for the stop. This loses kinetic energy.

So there is more kinetic energy on point B than on point D.
