Answer:

the system's Kinetic energy increases from 310 J to 385 J

(which agrees with option D in your list of possible answers)

Explanation:

If there is no friction, the initial mechanical energy of the system is 560 J , and the gravitational potential energy varies from 250 J to 175 J,

then we have:

Initial Kinetic energy = 560 J - 250 J = 310 J

Final Kinetic energy = 560 J - 175 J = 385 J

So the system's Kinetic energy increases from 310 J to 385 J
