in stable equilibrium the potential energy is minimum which a little displace in object will increase its potential energy
why in unstable equilibrium the potential energy maximum which a little displace in object will reduce it's potential energy ✍️✍️ so
my school is Correct ✍️✍️

5 examples of stable equilibrium
chair lying on the floor.
the heavy base of the vehicle.
table lying on the ground.
Cone lying on its base by lowering its center of gravity.
Bottle lying on its base.

myschool correct this.
A is correct
If a body is slightly displaced from its equilibrium position. It means it's potential energy has increased and Kinectic energy as decreased.
For the body to regain its stability.
The potential energy has to be decrease and the Kinectic energy has to be increased.
