Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

boulder was at rest on top of a hill so it contains abundant potentialenergy. When the boulder falls, its potential energy will change to kinetic energy, the energy of motion. When the boulder stops moving, its kinetic energy will transform back to potential energy
