An archer shoots an arrow at a target. The diagram shows the path of the arrow. Air resistance is negligible. The graphs show how three different quantities p, q and r vary with time. Which quantity could be the horizontal component of displacement and which quantity could be the vertical component of displacement of the arrow?

1. Ahorizontal component of displacement: p; vertical component of displacement: q
2. Bhorizontal component of displacement: q; vertical component of displacement: r
3. Chorizontal component of displacement: r; vertical component of displacement: p
4. Dhorizontal component of displacement: r; vertical component of displacement: q
