Solution

The correct option is A does not change
Answer is A.

The potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position in a force field or that a system has due to the configuration of its parts.
The potential energy of the car remains the same and will not change as the road is leveled and the height of the body remains the same, although its speed increases.
