Correct Answer: A

Rationale

Choice A is correct. It's given that the graph shows the height above ground, in meters, of a ball $x$ seconds after the ball was launched upward from a platform. In the graph shown, the x-axis represents time, in seconds, and the y-axis represents the height of the ball above ground, in meters. It follows that for the marked point $left parenthesis 1.0 comma 4.8 right parenthesis$ , $1.00$ represents the time, in seconds, after the ball was launched upward from a platform and $4.80$ represents the height of the ball above ground, in meters. Therefore, the best interpretation of the marked point $left parenthesis 1.0 comma 4.8 right parenthesis$ is $1.00$ second after being launched, the ball's height above ground is $4.80$ meters.
