The correct sequence of energy transfer that occurs when an apple falls to the ground is:

• Gravitational potential energy → heat energy to air → kinetic energy → heat energy to ground and apple → sound energy.

• Gravitational potential energy → sound energy → kinetic energy → heat energy to air → heat energy to ground and apple.

• Gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy → heat energy to air → heat energy to ground and apple → sound energy.

• Gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy → sound energy → heat energy to air → heat energy to ground and apple.
