Answer:

A. A child is about to slide down the slide

Step-by-step explanation:

This has the most potential energy because when the kid goes down the slide the energy will turn into kinetic energy which and this situation has a higher potential energy compared to the other ones. The other answers are all examples of kinetic energy but you need potential.
