Two inclined planes A and B have the same height but different angles of inclination with the horizontal. Inclided plane A has a steeper angle of inclination than inclined plane B

An object is released at rest from the top of each of the inclined planes. How does the speed of the object at the bottom of inclined plane A compare with that of the speed at the bottom of inclined plane B?
A)

The speed of the object at the base of inclined plane A would be grater than the speed of the object at the base on inclined plane B.
B)

The speed of the object at the base of inclined plane B would be grater than the speed of the object at the base on inclined plane A.
C)

The speed of the object is the same for both inclined planes.
D)

There is not enough information to answer the question.
