A model rocket was fired upward at an initial speed of 60 meters per second. The function h = 60t - 4.9t² shows the relationship between the time elapsed and the rocket's height above the ground, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in meters. The graph of this function is shown.
What is the best conclusion about the rocket's movement?

• The speed of the rocket was greatest at about 6 seconds after it was fired.
• The rocket traveled 180 meters.
• The rocket reached its maximum height in about 6 seconds.
• The rocket returned to the ground in about 6 seconds.
