Solution

The correct option is A True
In a roller coaster ride, when a particle is at the highest point its kinetic energy becomes zero or minimum and potential energy becomes maximum and when the particle is at the mean position, it's kinetic energy becomes maximum but potential energy becomes minimum.
So there is the transformation of energy between potential and kinetic energy.
Hence the given statement is true.
