The factors that determine the potential energy of an object are:
**C). Mass and position**
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, is calculated using the formula \( PE = mgh \), where \( m \) is the mass of the object, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the height (position) of the object above a reference point.
