    Option A is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    For a simple pendulum we have at any position

    Total energy = Constant

    Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Constant

    At maximum displacement of pendulum, velocity is zero, hence kinetic energy is zero.

    At maximum displacement the pendulum only have potential energy.

    Given that maximum potential energy is 10 J.

    That is at any position

    Kinetic energy + Potential energy = 10 J

    Now we need to find kinetic energy when potential energy is 5 J.

    Kinetic energy + 5 J = 10 J

    Kinetic energy = 5 J

    Option A is the correct answer.
