Solution

The correct option is A Exactly in the hands of the person
Since the car is moving with a constant velocity, so no pseudo force acts on the ball while it is in air. Thus the ball goes vertically upwards and the falls downwards (w.r.t. car frame) and falls exactly in the hands of the person.
