At the highest point of the hill, the coaster has potential energy, therefore the correct option is C.

What is mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy is the combination of all the energy in motion represented by total kinetic energy and the total stored energy in the system which is represented by total potential energy.

As total mechanical energy is the sum of all the kinetic as well as potential energy stored in the system.

As the coaster is stopped at the highest point it has zero kinetic energy the only form of energy it contains is potential energy.
