# 3 clay balls, labeled A, B, and C are launched from the same height at the same speed as shown above. A is launched at \( 30^\circ \) above horizontal, B is launched horizontally, and C is launched \( 30^\circ \) below the horizontal. They all hit the wall (before reaching the ground) in times \( t_A \), \( t_B \), and \( t_C \) respectively. Rank these times from least to greatest.

- **A.** \( t_B < t_C < t_A \)
- **B.** \( t_B < t_A < t_C \)
- **C.** \( t_A = t_B = t_C \)
- **D.** \( t_B < t_A = t_C \)
