Solution

The correct option is C bottom of the circle
The bottom most point in the motion of a particle in vertical circle has the least potential energy. According to the conservation of mechanical energy, this point should have the highest kinetic energy. Now since the mass of the particle remains constant, this point should have the highest velocity.
