The correct answer is: 
The simple pendulum at angular amplitude
is shown in the figure.
Maximum tension in the string is
(i)
When bob of the pendulum comes from
to
, it covers a vertical distance 


(ii)
Also during
to
, potential energy of bob converts into kinetic energy
, 
(iii)
Thus, using Eqs. (i),(ii) and (iii), we obtain
