The correct answer is: Perpendicular to each other
Direction of velocity is always tangent to the path so at the top of trajectory, it is in horizontal direction and acceleration due to gravity is always in vertically downward direction. It means angle between $\vec{v}$ and $\vec{g}$ are perpendicular to each other.
