a.

Explanation:

In a perfect system then energy can be changed from Kinetic to Gravitational Potential and vice versa without any losses. A common form of loss would be thermal energy, so b. is not the answer. c. is invalid as we want these 2 forms of energy to be transferred between, and d. is invalid as these statements c and a contradict each other.
