Solution

The correct option is B falls on the earth exactly behind the aeroplane
If there is no resistance, bomb will drop at a place exactly below the flying aeroplane. But when we take into account air resistance, bomb will face decceleration in its velocity. So it will fall on the earth exactly behind aeroplane.
