Sorry for brief formulation but have no time.

Cyclist travels down hill, no pedalling.
Applies breaks at X and stops at Y.

Which energy changes have taken place between X and Y?

A. Kinetic --> internal (Heat) ---> Grav potential
B. Kinetic --> Grav Potential --> Internal heat
C. Grav Potenial --> Internal (heat) ---> Kinetic.
D. Grav Potential --> Kinetic ---> Inetnal Heat

Thank you!
