Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A swinging basic pendulum's extreme position merely contains potential energy.
A basic pendulum is in its extreme position when the bob has moved the most about its mean position. Therefore, the bob's potential energy is at its highest point, and its kinetic energy is at its lowest point in this position. Therefore, it only contains potential energy in the most extreme positions.
