\mathrm{u_{x}=u\cos 60\degree=\frac{u}{2}}

\mathrm{u_{y}=u\cos 60\degree=\frac{\sqrt{3}u}{2}}

\mathrm{E=\frac{1}{2}mu^{2}}

At the highest point ,

\mathrm{Kinetic \: energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}

                            \mathrm{=\frac{1}{2}m\left ( u\cos 60\degree \right )^{2}}

                            \mathrm{=\frac{1}{4}\left ( \frac{1}{2}mu^{2} \right )}

                            \mathrm{=\frac{1}{4}\left ( E \right )=\frac{E}{4}}

Hence 3 is correct option
