    Answer:D. The objects potential energy will be greater.

    Explanation:

    Potential energy is expressed in

    PE = mgh

    Where PE is the product of mass of the object, g which is acceleration to gravity and height.

    PE and height is directly proportional which means that any changes in height will change the value of the PE. Increase in height means increase in PE.
