At the top of the slingshot shot, the potential energy is at its maximum because you are at the highest point of the trajectory, while the kinetic energy is at its minimum (approaching zero) because the ride would be momentarily slowing down before it starts falling back down.
So, the correct response is:
The kinetic energy is less than potential energy.
