If all else is constant, which would cause the greatest increase in kinetic energy of a moving object?

Kinetic energy is KE = ½mv², so it changes in proportion to mass times the square of velocity. In choice D, doubling mass and velocity multiplies kinetic energy by 2 × 2² = 8. This is the greatest increase; for example, choice A only doubles kinetic energy.
