I didnt want to get too cute with the answer but there arent a lot of details provided, so I do make some assumptions.
There is gravity on the planet (clearly because it has mass and a given escape velocity)
There is matter in outer space that will have gravity
The speed exceeds the escape velocity so greatly that I will say that the rock will land inside some mass in outer space after which the speed of the rock will be:
Gravitational potential energy = U = RGMm
Escape velocity = vesc = r2GM
Kinetic energy of launch:
Kinetic energy after launch = K0−U = 3U
So the answer is D) 3vesc
Nice job
I didn't remember the escape velocity formula off the top of my head, so the answer is no.
Me plus looking it up would look like what @SimpleStacker did.
I enjoy solving puzzles like these... I almost wish mathematical econ was more useful in real life so those skills would be more applicable.

A) Zero
@SimpleStacker got it right with his elegant solution
I was way too late to the game. did that ken game ever end?
