Explanation:

The nice thing about parabolic motion is that the object launched from a certain height will have the same velocity coming down when it reaches that height again, just in the opposite direction. For us, that means if the velocity of the ball right off the ground is 30 m/s, then right before it hits the ground again it will be -30 m/s (the negative just means that the direction is the opposite). Your choice is D.
