Assertion: A ball thrown from the edge of a high cliff in any direction eventually ends up moving almost vertically downward when air resistance acts.

Reason: Air resistance steadily removes the horizontal component of velocity, while gravity keeps increasing the vertical component.

Options:

A
Solution:

Drag opposes motion and kills the horizontal component;

gravity keeps feeding the vertical component, so the path turns vertical.

The reason correctly explains the assertion.
