According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

When work is done, energy is changed from one form to another.

  • Kinetic energy + Potential Energy = constant

From this we can analyse and find out the answer is:

B) the total amount of energy for a system stays the same.

it is because energy is never destroyed or created. always stays same but in different forms.
