Solution

The correct option is D E2
Let θ=45o is the angle made by the ball with the horizontal.
At highest point there is only horizontal velocity vh=vcosθ=vcos45o=v2
Kinetic energy E=mv22;Ev2

if velocity decrease by a factor of 2 then kinetic energy will decrease by a factor of 2.

Kinetic energy at the highest point of its flight will be E2.
