A

Its magnitude at the highest point is higher than at the lowest point, and it is downwards at both points

B

Both its magnitude and direction are the same at the highest at the lower points

C

Its magnitude is the same at the highest and at the lowest points, but the direction are opposite.

D

its nagnitude at the highest point is smaller than at the lowest point, and it is downwards at both points.
