Answer is: B) The kinetic energy is increasing proportional to the mass of the bowling ball.

Kinetic energy has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving.

Ek = 1/2 · m(bowling ball) · v²(bowling ball).

m is mass; v is speed of bowling ball.

The standard unit of kinetic energy is the joule.
