<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: B. Kinetic energy
<h2>
Why?</h2>
Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.
The gravity acceleration is equal to 
, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.
We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

Explanation:
( a ) The rotational speed of the ladybug = 25 r.p.m = 25/60 r.p.s
= 5/12 rev/sec
( b ) The definition of frequency is the number of rotations per second .
Here the number of rotations per second is 5/12 . Thus frequency = 5/12 Hz
( c ) The tangential speed is v = angular velocity x radius of rotation
The angular velocity ω = 2π x n , where n is the number of rotations per second
Thus angular velocity = 2π x 5/12 = 5π/6 rad/sec
The linear velocity = angular velocity x distance from center of record
Thus tangential speed = 5π/6 x 10 = 25π/3 cm/sec
Angular displacement in 20 sec = ω x t = 5π/6 x 20 = 50π/3 rad
Linear displacement = angular displacement x distance from center of record
= 50π/3 x 10 = 500π/3 = 523 cm
