The given diagram shows the projectile motion of a ball. The magnitude of the verticalcomponent of velocity (v) will be maximum at point

Explanation

The vertical component of the velocity of a projectile is maximum at the point of launch (point A) because it starts with its initial velocity entirely directed upwards. As the projectile rises, gravity reduces this vertical component until it becomes zero at the peak (point C). After that, the vertical component becomes negative as the projectile descends (point D). Therefore, point A is where the vertical component of velocity is at its maximum, immediately after launch.Options B, C, and D do not have the maximum vertical component of velocity. At point B, the projectile is still moving upwards, but gravity has already started to reduce its vertical speed. At point C, the vertical component is zero. At point D, the projectile is descending, so while the magnitude of the negative vertical component increases, it was greatest at the initial upward launch.
