Respuesta :

D. Because as height increases, so does the potential energy.

Answer: Apple at point D

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

[tex]P.E=m\times g\times h[/tex]

m= mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity = [tex]10ms^{-2}[/tex]

h = height of an object  

Thus as can be seen from the relation, potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object, the apple with maximum height, at point D will have maximum potential energy.
