In Scenario $1,$ a block is placed at the bottom of a semicircular track, as shown. An identical block, released from rest at a height $H$ above the bottom of the track, slides down and collides elastically with the block at the bottom of the track. The block at the bottom then slides up the track and reaches a maximum height $h_{\text{m}\text{a}\text{x}}.$There is negligible friction between the blocks and the track. In Scenario $2,$ the process is repeated except the blocks stick together when they collide. Which of the following correctly indicates the maximum height that the bottom block reaches in Scenario $2?$
