funny of u to assume I have friends

If I remember anything from that part of my education (not great at physics) I'd say the answer is A, though I admit i'm not 100% sure

I dunno how to explain, once it hits that's the energy that was converting I guess.

Answer:the answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object is at its highest point( in height) it just has potential energy, nothing else. When it falls back down then it’s converting back to kinetic energy.
