(C) Let the height of the cone be $h$ and the radius of the cone be $r$. Given,the radius of the sphere is $R$. In $	riangle OPB$,by the Pythagorean theorem,we have: $R^2 = r^2 + (h - R)^2$ $\Rightarrow r^2 = R^2 - (h - R)^2 = R^2 - (h^2 - 2Rh + R^2) = 2Rh - h^2$. The volume $V$ of the cone is given by: $V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi (2Rh - h^2) h = \frac{\pi}{3} (2Rh^2 - h^3)$. To find the maximum volume,differentiate $V$ with respect to $h$: $\frac{dV}{dh} = \frac{\pi}{3} (4Rh - 3h^2)$. Setting $\frac{dV}{dh} = 0$ for critical points: $\frac{\pi}{3} h(4R - 3h) = 0$. Since $h 
eq 0$,we have $h = \frac{4R}{3}$. Checking the second derivative: $\frac{d^2V}{dh^2} = \frac{\pi}{3} (4R - 6h)$. At $h = \frac{4R}{3}$,$\frac{d^2V}{dh^2} = \frac{\pi}{3} (4R - 6(\frac{4R}{3})) = \frac{\pi}{3} (4R - 8R) = -\frac{4\pi R}{3} Since the second derivative is negative,the volume is maximum at $h = \frac{4R}{3}$.
