option A is correct reason is because-
When the diver steps off the diving platform, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the diver falls. In the absence of air resistance, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic and potential energy) remains constant. Therefore, as the diver falls, gravitational potential energy decreases, and kinetic energy increases.

p.E = mgh
since height is decreasing then the value of p.E IS also decreasing
