Answer

Only statement (C) is correct.

Work Step by Step

We know that statement (C) is correct -- that is, at the dashed level, all three balls have the same speed. This statement is correct because all three balls have the same kinetic energy as their initial speed is the same at the launching point and this kinetic energy is then converted into gravitational potential energy.
