Answer:
2. at the lowest point
Explanation:
The motion of the pendulum is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE). This is because the mechanical energy of the pendulum, which is sum of KE and GPE, is constant:
E = KE + GPE = const.
Therefore, when KE is maximum, GPE is minimum, and viceversa.
So, the point of the motion where the KE is maximum is where the GPE is minimum: and since the GPE is directly proportional to the heigth of the bob:
we see that GPE is minimum when the bob is at the lowest point,so the correct answer is
2. at the lowest point
