A car is accelerated on a levelled road and acquires a velocity 4 times of its initial velocity. During this process, the potential energy of the car :

(a) does not change

(b) becomes twice that of initial potential energy

(c) becomes 4 times that of initial potential energy

(d) becomes 16 times that of initial potential energy
