The correct statement that describes the energy transformation as the roller coaster moves from point A and stops at point B is:
Potential changes to kinetic, then some kinetic changes to potential.
As the roller coaster moves from a higher point (A) to a lower point, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Then, as it climbs again or slows down towards point B, some of that kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy.
