In a demonstration, a teacher holds the axle of a wheel that is spinning with constant angular speed. The teacher then releases the axle and the wheel begins to fall toward the ground. As the wheel falls, its angular speed remains constant. Which of the following correctly describes how the rotational kinetic energy \( K_{\text{rot}} \) of the wheel and the total kinetic energy \( K_{\text{tot}} \) of the wheel change, if at all, after the wheel is released but before it reaches the ground?

	\( K_{\text{rot}} \)	\( K_{\text{tot}} \)
A	Constant	Constant
B	Constant	Increasing
C	Increasing	Constant
D	Increasing	Increasing
