Solution

The correct option is A Straight line
Acceleration of a projectile is constant (equal to the acceleration due to gravity, g) towards the earth. Hence, acceleration of both projectiles is same and relative acceleration is zero. Since relative acceleration is zero, relative velocity is constant and hence, the path of a projectile seen from another projectile is a straight line.
