Solution

The correct option is A

It does not change.


Potential Energy is mathematically represented by the formula P.E = m × g × h, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height in meters. As you are running on a leveled track, there is no change in potential energy because there is no change in the height of the body from the ground.
