B Point B
C Point C
D Between A and B

Worked Solution

Step 1: As the pendulum swings down from A to B, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) converts to Kinetic Energy (KE). Step [2-9]: At the lowest point (B), GPE is at its minimum. Step [2-9]: Therefore, KE is at its maximum at Point B.

Correct answer: Point B
