Answer:

Maybe, B. Not all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even if air resistance slows down the ball, the potential energy is the same. But if air resistance is in the way, not all of the potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy. Some of the energy has to be used to push the air molecules out of the way.
