Answer: high mass and high height

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is refered as the potential energy that has to do with the energy in a particular object due to the height of that object.

With the above explanation, when objects that have different masses are suspended from a height, the one that will have the greatest gravitational potential energy will be the one with a high mass and high height.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
