Answer:

GE = ME -
(1)/(2) m\,v^2, which agrees with option C in your list.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of Mechanical Energy (ME) of a system is the addition of the gravitational potential energy (GE) plus the kinetic energy (KE) of the system:

ME = GE + KE

Given that the KE is:
(1)/(2) m\,v^2,

solving for GE in the formula above gives:

GE = ME - KE = ME -
(1)/(2) m\,v^2, which agrees with option C
