Explanation:
Concept: Whenever an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle, the centroid and centre are at the same position.
i.e. OA = OB = OC = OE = radius (r) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) Height of the triangle
Now, AD = AO + OD
H = \(\frac{2}{3}\)H + OD
OD = \(\frac{1}{3}\)H
Also, DE = OE - OD
DE = \(\frac{2}{3}\)H - \(\frac{1}{3}\)H = \(\frac{1}{3}\)H
Col. A: \(\frac{1}{3}\)H
Col. B: \(\frac{1}{3}\)H
Hence, option C
