An ideal spring with spring constant $k$ is suspended from the ceiling,and a block of mass $M$ is attached to its lower end. Initially,the spring is unstretched and the block is released from rest. What will be the maximum extension in the spring?

  • A
    $4 Mg/k$
  • B
    $2 Mg/k$
  • C
    $Mg/k$
  • D
    $Mg/2k$
