Solution

The correct option is B
Potential energy to kinetic energy

A ball a height has the potential energy due to its raised position. When the ball is dropped from that position, it begins to fall. The falling ball has the kinetic energy due to its motion. Thus the potential energy stored in the ball in its raised position changes into kinetic energy when the ball is falling.
