Solution
The correct option is C can't say Time of flight will depend only upon the vertical forces since that only decided the time required to cover the height. Now, if the projectile goes up, then the air resistance contributes to reducing the time of flight while it contributes to increasing time of flight when the projectile comes down. Hence exact statement can't be made regarding this.
