Solution

The correct option is B both K.E. and P.E.
When body is released from top only conservative forces are acting on it so mechanical energy will be conserved so when body start falling down its kinetic energy starts increasing and potential energy starts decreasing means potential energy is converting to kinetic energy but when it is midway from top it posses still some potential energy but also carry some kinetic energy which he has gained while coming half way down.
So the best possible option is option B.
