    option D

    Explanation:

    given.

    horizontal velocity of arrow and a ball given as 50 m/s and 44 m/s respectively from the top of a building over flat ground.

    In vertical direction, they are both identical

    In vertical direction the initial velocity of arrow and a ball is 0 m/s

    Their acceleration due to gravity is same for both arrow and a ball 9.8 m/s²

    they will react bottom at the same time

    time of flight is same for both

    now,

    In horizontal direction,

    distance = speed * time

    Since speed is more for arrow, it will travel more horizontal distance at the same time.

    the correct answer is option D
