A Correct answer
Explanation

A glass ball can indeed bounce higher than a rubber ball due to the physics of elastic collisions. Glass has a higher coefficient of restitution than rubber, meaning it retains more kinetic energy after impact. Steel ball bearings demonstrate this same principle - they bounce much higher than rubber balls. The key is the material's elasticity, not softness.
