Final answer:

The question lacks information required to specifically answer which height a ball would reach after a collision. Therefore, the answer to this question would be option A) Insufficient information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has insufficient information to determine the height to which each ball swings after the collision. In order to solve problems involving the motion of objects such as balls in physics, we typically need information on forces, energy, or initial and final momenta. None of this crucial information was provided for the collision in question. To solve for the height after a collision, knowing the energy conservation principles or the coefficient of restitution and the initial velocities could aid in finding the correct answer.

To determine the height to which each ball swings after the collision, we need more information or context from the question, as it is not clear which balls are being referred to or the specifics of the collision. Therefore, the answer to this question would be option A) Insufficient information.
