As the person is standing on the platform KE is the greatest. Once they dive, PE becomes the greatest.

The correct response is:
"As the person stands on the platform PE is greater than KE. As the person starts diving, PE transfers into KE."
This reflects the principle of conservation of energy, where potential energy (PE) is at its maximum when the person is at the height of the diving platform, and as they dive, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (KE) as their speed increases.
