Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to the motion of its particles. Whereas potential energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its position.
At point A basket ball is at rest so, it will have maximum kinetic energy.
When the basket ball bounces from position A to position B then potential energy will convert into kinetic energy.
Thus, we can conclude that as the basketball bounces up from A to B it is gaining kinetic energy and loosing potential energy as it bounces up.
