At 150 meters per second, the ball covers 15 meters every 1/10 of a second.
When it swooshes by her, it's 15 meters from you.  Beginning at that time, the
distances from you at subsequent intervals of 1/10 second are 30, 45, 60, 75, etc.
That's choice-'D'.

Note that only the horizontal distance from you is reflected.  The drop of the paintball
under the influence of gravity is utterly and completely ignored.
