A pendulum consists of a ball of mass \( m \) suspended at the end of a massless cord of length \( L \). The pendulum is drawn aside through an angle of \( 60^\circ \) with the vertical and released. At the low point of its swing, the speed of the pendulum ball is

- **A.** \[\sqrt{gL}\]
- **B.** \[\sqrt{2gL}\]
- **C.** \[\frac{1}{2} g L\]
- **D.** \[ gL \]
