The correct answer is **c: a raindrop**.
As a raindrop falls from a height due to gravity, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing it to accelerate as it descends.
The other options do not primarily represent the conversion of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.
