Solution

The correct option is B more potential energy
Potential energy = $m g h$
$m \to m a s s$
$g \to a c c e l e r a t i o n d u e t o g r a v i t y$
$h \to h e i g h t f r o m g r o u n d$
P.E. is directly proportional to the height from the ground. Hence a student sitting at the top of a tree has more potential energy than the student who is sitting on the ground.
