The correct answer is:
$\frac{\text { Mgh }}{3}$
$\begin{aligned} \text { Total } \mathrm{KE} &=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^{2} \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^{2}\right) \mathrm{v}^{2} \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}=\mathrm{Mgh} \end{aligned}$
