Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
A potential energy (P.E) is usually defined as the energy that is being stored in an object because of the position and arrangement of the objects.
On the other hand, kinetic energy (K.E) is defined as the energy that is being stored in an object by virtue of its motion.
From the given options, it can be concluded that the potential energy is related to the height of the object because an object is able to hold some energy because of its height from the ground. The height of the object from the ground (mean position) and the gravitational P.E are directly proportional to each other.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
