The correct answer is
B It increases.
In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass and proportional to the square of the speed: in this problem, the speed of the object remains the same, while its mass increases, therefore the kinetic energy will increase as well.
