The correct answer is:
The fiction force due to air on the ball will always act in the opposite direction of the velocity of the ball, and the velocity of the ball at any point on the path is always in the tangential direction of the path of the projectile.
The weight of the body always acts downward perpendicular to the surface of the earth and along the centre of the earth.
