A block of mass $m$ starts at rest at height $h$ on a frictionless inclined plane. The block slides down the plane, travels across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $μ$ , and compresses a spring with force constant $k$ a distance $x$ before momentarily coming to rest. Then the spring extends and the block travels back across the rough surface, sliding up the plane. The block travels a total distance $d$ on rough horizontal surface. The correct expression for the maximum height $h’$ that the block reaches on its return is
