B should be d correct ans,d total energy is always constant and dat is true,but d maximum potential energy can never be in d mid point!

Wrong answer.

The answer is even B and C, Elastic potential energy is max at P and Q because that's where the extension is max, and extension is 0 at Q.

Also kinetic energy is maximum at equilibrium position because that's where the velocity is maximum, velocity is 0 at P and Q.

The correct answer is B

the answer cant be c because the point P is an extreme end, and the pendulum will stop for a while when it reaches an extreme end or the maximum distance from the equilibrum position before it goes back again
