    4. Parabola

    Explanation:

    The motion of the flight of the grenade is a projectile motion, it's shape is best illustrated using a parabolic diagram.

    It's not a circle as the path is not totally round.

    It's not an ellipse as the path of motion is not a a completely bounded shape.

    Its not a hyperbola as a hyperbola is an open curve with two branches.

    Its a parabolic shape because a parabola has just one branch
