Kinetic energy(KE) = 1/2 • mass • (velocity)^2
Potential energy (PE)= mass• gravitational acceleration • hight

KE depends on the velocity and PE on the hight.

The picture is not clear so I will assume that at point (A) the velocity = 0
So there is no KE , all the energy in the PE form

At point (B), the hight is not = 0 so there is PE. Also the object will have a velocity so there is KE

Similarly with c and d

Hope this helps.
