The correct response regarding the energy values of a pendulum is:

The sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy is always constant.

In the case of a pendulum, as it swings, it converts potential energy (when at the highest point) to kinetic energy (when at the lowest point) and vice versa, but the total mechanical energy remains constant in the absence of air resistance and friction.
