= Solution

Differentiate the ball mean-value formula and use the <divergence theorem>:
$$
Du(x_0)=\frac1{|B_r|}\int_{B_r(x_0)}Du
=\frac1{|B_r|}\int_{\partial B_r(x_0)}u\nu.
$$
Consequently
$$
|Du(x_0)|\leq\frac{|\partial B_r|}{|B_r|}\sup_{B_r(x_0)}|u|
=\frac nr\sup_{B_r(x_0)}|u|.
$$
Thus one may take $C(n)=n$.
