Energy is being transferred from his arm muscles to the ball.
Explanation: Abin's muscles do work on the ball, converting chemical energy in his muscles into the ball's gravitational potential energy (measured in joules). The other statements are incorrect: energy doesn't go from the ball to his muscles, energy isn't measured in hertz, and the change is chemical → potential (not potential → chemical).
