The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.
<h3>What is an air current?</h3>
An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.
When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.

Average speed=total distance travelled/time
We know, Potential Energy = Force * Height
Here, F = 40 N
h = 5 m
Substitute their values,
U = 40 * 5
U = 200 J
In short, Your Answer would be Option A
