Solution

The correct option is A 10 J
Rotational kinetic energy, KERot=12ICMω2
Moment of inertia of the solid sphere about the axis passing through it's COM is:
ICM=25mr2, m=2 kg, r=5 cm=0.05 m
Applying condition of pure rolling(v=rω)
KERot=12(25×2×(0.05)2)ω2
KERot=25×(0.05)2×v20.052
KERot=25×25=10 J
