Does this follow the Law of conservation of Matter?

A2-kg bowling ball is 1 meter off the ground on a post when it falls. just before it reaches the ground,its traveling 4.4 m/s. assuming that there is no air resistant, which statement is true a. the initial potential energy is less then the final kinetic energy b. the mechanical energy is not conserved c. the mechanical energy is conserved d. the initial potential energy is greater than the final kinetic energy

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e.g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
