Two identical balls are suspended side by side by two long strings. One ball is pulled aside so that its center of gravity rises by a vertical distance $h$. It is then released and undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with the other ball. What is the vertical distance to which the center of gravity of the combined system rises?

  • A
    $h$
  • B
    $3h/4$
  • C
    $h/2$
  • D
    $h/4$
