Both balls will reach the ground at the same time.

(C) Both balls will reach the ground at the same time. Since both balls are released from the same height $h$ and their initial vertical velocity components are zero $(u_y = 0)$,the time taken to reach the ground is determined by the vertical motion equation: $h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$. Solving for $t$,we get $t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$. Since $h$ and $g$ are the same for both,the time $t$ is identical for both balls.
