Solution

The correct option is B Bernoulli's law
A banana kick is caused by putting a spin on the ball while kicking in one specific direction. Due to the "Bernoulli effect", the ball will change direction in mid-air. This is because there is a difference in velocity on different portions of the ball. This difference causes there to be a force moving the ball sideways.
