You indicated that the acceleration at point D is directed toward the exterior of the curve along which the ball is rolling.  Is that possible?  (Hint:  the answer is no!)

In addition, remember that at point D the ball is flying through a vacuum.  Hence, the acceleration of the ball at point D is the freefall acceleration (i.e., the acceleration of gravity).  In what direction is the freefall acceleration?
