    The answer to your question is the letter C. three times as much

    Explanation:

    Data

    First step = 6 m

    Second step = 18 m

    Potential energy is the energy stored that depends on its position.

    Formula

    Pe = mgh

    m = mass; g = gravity; h = height

    Potential energy of the first step

    Pe1 = 6mg

    Potential energy of the second step

    Pe2 = 18mg

    -Divide the Pe2 by the Pe1

    Pe2/Pe1 = 18mg/6mg

    = 3
