Correct Answer: a parabola
Solution : The correct answer is a parabola.
The path the ball takes when viewed from a platform by an observer is called a parabola. It is because the ball travels in two distinct directions: horizontally at the train's speed and vertically due to gravity. The ball keeps its horizontal velocity constant while accelerating its vertical motion. A parabolic route is the result of this combination of motion.
