The correct option is B Maximum
According to the law of conservation of energy its kinetic energy is getting converted in to potential energy because of gain in height. So, if the velocity of a ball goes on decreasing when it is thrown vertically upwards. When its velocity becomes zero, its potential energy becomes maximum.
