C. If a bouncy ball is dropped from a height of one meter, it will bounce before coming to rest. D. If a bouncy ball is dropped from a height of one meter, then it will bounce one hundred times before coming to rest.
D. If a bouncy ball is dropped from a height of one meter, then it will bounce one hundred times before coming to rest.
