The gravitational potential energy of an object is due to:a. its mass b. its acceleration due to gravity c. its height above the earth's surface d. all of the above.

The gravitational potential energy of an object $U=mgh$

While $m\rightarrow$ mass of the object

$g\rightarrow$acceleration due to gravitation

$h\rightarrow$height of the object from the ground floor.

So,  the gravitational potential energy of an object is due to its mass, its acceleration due to gravity & its height above the earth's surface.

Therefore, option d is correct.
