A. Increases

B. Decreases

C. Stays the same

As an object falls toward earth, the potential energy of the object : Decreases

Here's the formula for the Potential energy:

E = Em + Ek + Eg

m = mass

= k kinetic

g = gravity

As the potential energy falls toward earth, the Eg became 0, which will decrease its amount
