Solution

The correct option is C both potential and kinetic energy
A person has both potential and kinetic energy while climbing.
He is gaining a vertical height, so potential energy increases with respect to the ground.
Also he is in motion while climbing, which means he has kinetic energy also which is present in any object by virtue of its motion.
