An aeroplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of $600\, km/hr $ at an elevation of $6\, km$ towards a point directly above the target on the earth's surface. At an appropriate time, the pilot releases a ball so that it strikes the target at the earth. The ball will appear to be falling

  • A

    On a parabolic path as seen by pilot in the plane

  • B

    Vertically along a straight path as seen by an observer on the ground near the target

  • C

    On a parabolic path as seen by an observer on the ground near the target

  • D

    On a zig-zag path as seen by pilot in the plane
