Only kinetic energy increases when the velocity of an object increases.

Explanation:

That's the correct option because kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared and potential energy is proportional to object's height.

First and last option are incorrect because objects can either have more kinetic energy or potential energy depending on the circumstances.

Third option is incorrect. The correct version of it is: Only potential energy decreases when an object's height decreases.
