Perhaps the answer is neither D nor E, but A; because we require to know how much force the juggler is placing upon the pins.

Anythings possible. The juggler could be superman and throw the pins out of orbit
.
Remember the Juggler is walking across the bridge as he/she is juggling. Assuming that juggling involves throwing the pins vertically, a pin thrown too high will not be retrieved.
The Juggler doesn't have much scope as to how far a pin can be thrown, and while E is not technically correct, it's still probably closest to being the correct answer.
