What kinds of energry conversions

[meemosewa]

What kinds of energy conversions are involved when a mass is falling eo the ground?

A. Power to work
B. Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
C. Kinetic Energy to Potential Energy
D. Force to Kinetic energy

I think the answer is C, because the object is moving and then will ultimately hit the ground... KE to PE?

I think the question is asking you to look at the mass being at rest initially at a height and then falling through that height but before it hits the ground. (The answer, is not C).
