The correct answer is:
B. The marble released from a distance of 15 centimeters will have the most potential energy transferred into kinetic energy, causing the marble to travel the farthest.
This conclusion is based on the principle that the potential energy stored in the slingshot is related to the distance it is pulled back. The greater the distance (in this case, 15 centimeters), the more potential energy is stored, which, when released, converts into kinetic energy. Therefore, the marble should travel the farthest when released from the greatest distance.
