Which one of the following statements is NOT true about potential energy?
(a) The SI unit of both gravitational and elastic potential energy is the joule.
(b) Gravitational potential energy increases when the height of the object above the chosen reference level increases.
(c) Gravitational potential energy of an object at ground level is always maximum.
(d) For the same change in height, an object of double mass gains double the gravitational potential energy.
