A stone is projected horizontally at time t = 0 and falls. Air resistance is negligible. The stone has a horizontal component of velocity v_H and a vertical component of velocity v_V. Which graph shows how v_H and v_V vary with time t?

1. AGraph A: v_H constant horizontal line, v_V increasing linearly from origin
2. BGraph B: v_V constant horizontal line, v_H increasing linearly from origin
3. CGraph C: v_H constant horizontal line, v_V increasing with increasing gradient
4. DGraph D: v_H constant horizontal line, v_V decreasing with increasing gradient
