The correct statement regarding the relative levels of kinetic and potential energy in a hydroelectric dam is:
**Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.**
This is because at the top of the dam, water has the highest potential energy due to its elevated position. As the water flows down, its potential energy converts to kinetic energy, which is highest at the bottom of the dam.
