D Correct answer
Explanation

When measured from the vertical, 0 degrees means the projectile is launched straight up. This gives maximum vertical height since all initial velocity is in the vertical direction. At 90 degrees from vertical (i.e., horizontal), the projectile has no vertical component and achieves zero height.
