Answer
A. 1 and 2
Explanation
At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.
At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.
The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.
P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.
From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.
This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.
