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

Explanation:

The correct sequence of energy transfer that occurs when an apple falls to the ground is : Gravitational potential energy $\rightarrow$ Kinetic energy $\rightarrow$ Heat energy to air $\rightarrow$ Heat energy to ground and apple $\rightarrow$ Sound energy.
