Final answer:

The rocket's position at 2 seconds depends on additional factors and cannot be determined without more information.

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to finding initial velocities but doesn't provide the numerical values for these velocities or any information about the rocket's acceleration or other relevant factors.

To calculate the distance traveled by a rocket, you typically need the initial velocities, acceleration, and time.

In physics, the displacement or distance traveled by an object is calculated using the kinematic equation:

\[ d = v_i . t + 1 / 2 a . t^2 \]

where:

- d is the distance traveled,

- v_i is the initial velocity,

- t is the time,

- a is the acceleration.

Since the initial velocities are not provided in the question, and the acceleration is unknown, it's not possible to determine the distance traveled without additional information.

Therefore, the correct answer is that it depends on additional factors.

The correct option is D.
