Solution

The correct answer is "total of the planet's PE and KE". This is because, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of an isolated system remains constant if no external forces act on it. In this case, the planet's potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) are constantly changing as it orbits the sun, but their total remains the same.
