Correct Answer: 45 o with the horizontal


Solution : The correct option is 45 o with the horizontal .

To achieve the maximum horizontal distance, a cricket ball should be hit at an angle of 45°. When the projection angle is 45 degrees, the greatest horizontal distance is reached. This is because the projectile travels the most horizontal distance before impact at this angle when the starting velocity's horizontal and vertical components are comparable.
