Solution

The correct option is A Potential energy
Assume an object is moving and it is stopped at a point. Now kinetic energy will transform into some other energy.
Furthermore, when that kinetic energy of an object (going upward against gravity) transforms into potential energy, the net potential energy of the object will be more than $m g h$ (where height is $h$ with respect to base).
