April shoots an arrow upward at a speed of 80 ft/sec from a platform of 25 ft. high. The pathway of the arrow can be represented by the equation h = -16t² + 80t + 25, where h is the height and t is the time in seconds. What is the maximum height that the arrow reaches?

• 80 ft.

• 90 ft.

• 140 ft.

• 125 ft.
