Choose the best statement that reflects the transformation between potential and kinetic energy of a roller coaster ride

As a coaster car makes its descent, kinetic energy is transferred to potential energy as it moves downhill

Kinetic energy is at its greatest when a coaster car is at the highest point. Then the energy is transferred to potential energy

Potential energy is at its greatest when the car moves down the hill, then it would transfer into kinetic energy as it moves up the next hill

Potential energy is at its greatest at the highest point in this ride. As a car moves down the hill, energy is transferred to kinetic energy
