Answer

The correct answer is **always constant**.<br /><br />In projectile motion, the only force acting on the object (neglecting air resistance) is gravity, which acts vertically downwards. Since there are no horizontal forces, there's no horizontal acceleration. Therefore, the horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the projectile's flight.<br />
