Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the higher the object is the more potential energy it can obtain. And 20m is the highest therefore it has greater energy

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Potential energy is the energy which is held by an object because of its position with respect to other object.</u>

And the higher the object , the greater amount of potential energy it will have.

So, among the options, Hanging 20 m from the ground is the highest height of an object with respect to other object i.e. ground.

So, Hanging 20 m from the ground have greater amount of potential energy.

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
