The correct statement is:

**Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.**

In a hydroelectric dam, water at the top has high potential energy due to its height. As the water flows down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is highest at the bottom where the water is moving fastest.
