Solution

The correct option is C
is same

The total energy of a swinging pendulum at any instant of time remains conserved and the same because potential energy in the extreme position of the pendulum is high and at the mean position of the pendulum kinetic energy is high.
Total kinetic energy and potential energy remain conserved. It is based on the law of conservation of energy.
Hence, options (B and C) are the correct answer.
