$A$ ball of mass $m$ suspended from a rigid support by an inextensible massless string is released from a height $h$ above its lowest point. At its lowest point, it collides elastically with a block of mass $2m$ at rest on a frictionless surface. Neglect the dimensions of the ball and the block. After the collision, the ball rises to a maximum height of

  • A
    $\frac{h}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{h}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{h}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{h}{9}$
