D)Kinetic decreases and gravitational potential increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the ball moves upward, its speed decreases, meaning its kinetic energy decreases. Simultaneously, its height relative to the ground increases, which means its gravitational potential energy increases.
