How does the Bohr model explain the potential energy of electrons in different shells?

• A. Electrons in higher shells have more potential energy due to their distance from the nucleus.
• B. All electrons have the same potential energy regardless of their shell.
• C. Electrons in lower shells have more potential energy due to their proximity to the nucleus.
• D. Potential energy is not a concept used in the Bohr model.
