Maximum Range or Maximum Height from Given Constraints

The question asks for the maximum possible range or maximum possible height a projectile can achieve given a constraint on the initial speed (e.g., maximum height a person can throw determines maximum range, or vice versa).

On a day of intense heat, two friends are playing with water from a hose. One of them wants to know how high the water jet reaches from the water outlet when the hose is positioned completely in the vertical direction. The other friend then proposes the following experiment: they position the hose water outlet in the horizontal direction, 1 m in height relative to the ground, and then measure the horizontal distance between the hose and the location where the water hits the ground. The measurement of this distance was 3 m, and from this they calculated the vertical reach of the water jet. Consider the acceleration due to gravity of $10 \mathrm{~m~s}^{-2}$.
The result they obtained was
(A) $1.50 \mathrm{~m}$.
(B) $2.25 \mathrm{~m}$.
(C) $4.00 \mathrm{~m}$.
(D) $4.50 \mathrm{~m}$.
(E) $5.00 \mathrm{~m}$.
