ANSWER:

3rd option: potential energy

Explanation:

As it falls, it loses height, the energy related to height is the gravitational potential energy, while the height decreases, the potential energy decreases. This means that while she falls the potential energy is turning into kinetic energy.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3rd option: potential energy
