Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

According to conservation of mechanical energy as for conservation forces the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy remains constant and throughout the motion it is independent of time. This is the law of conservation of mechanical energy.

ie,    KE+PE=total energy =constant.
