MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

The potential energy function for a particle executing linear SHM is given by $$V(x)=\frac{1}{2} k x^2$$ where $$k$$ is the force constant of the oscillator (Fig). For $$k=0.5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$$, the graph of $$V(x)$$ versus $$x$$ is shown in the figure. A particle of total energy $$E$$ turns back when it reaches $$x= \pm x_m$$. If $$V$$ and $$K$$ indicate the PE and KE, respectively of the particle at $$x=+x_m$$, then which of the following is correct?

A
$$V=O,\qquad K=E$$
B
$$V=E,\qquad K=O$$
C
$$V< E,\qquad K=O$$
D
$$V=E,\qquad K>E$$
