The interaction that demonstrates the greatest change in kinetic energy is:

Two attracting magnets are released while moving towards one another.

This is because as the magnets attract each other, they accelerate towards one another, resulting in a significant increase in kinetic energy as they come closer. The potential energy stored in the magnetic field converts to kinetic energy, leading to a greater change compared to the other scenarios listed.
