At highest point height is maximum and vertical component of velocity is zero.
So momentum is zero. At highest point horizontal component of velocity will not be zero but vertical component of velocity is equal to zero and because of this K.E. will not be equal to zero. Gravitational potential energy is maximum at highest point and equal to\mathrm{mgH}=\mathrm{mg}\left(\frac{\mathrm{u}^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 \mathrm{~g}}\right)

Therefore the correct option is (4).
