Hail stones are observed to strike the surface of a frozen lake at $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical and rebound at $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. Assuming the contact to be smooth,the coefficient of restitution is

  • A
    $e=\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $e=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $e=\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $e=3$
