I don't think it's B. I think it's A. If you have a rock on a level shelf 10 meters above the floor, that rock will have a certain PE no matter how fast you move it along the shelf.

Increasing the speed of an object increases its kinetic energy. Potential energy is only relevant as a quantity that can be exchanged with kinetic energy while total energy remains constant. I think that the answer is A.

it's A..
potential energy only needs mass, gravity and height to be computed..it's equation is PE = mgh.. it doesn't nid velocity
