Option (1)(1) is correct.

Explanation:

If VV be the velocity with which the football is kicked, then

K=1/2mV^2K=12mV2

At highest point, y-y component of velocity becomes zero, however, x-x component remains constant. Therefore, kinetic energy, at highest point, is determined by x-x component of velocity VV. Let V_xVx and K' represent x- component of velocity and kinetic energy at highest point respectively.

V_x=Vcos45=V/sqrt2

Now, K'=1/2mV_x^2=1/2m(V/sqrt2)^2=1/2mV^2/2=1/2(1/2mV^2)=1/2K=K/2

Hence, option (1) is correct.
