What is the significance of the horizontal component of velocity in determining the range of a projectile?

Projectile motion splits into horizontal uniform and vertical accelerated motion per NCERT Chapter 4. Range R=u²sin2θ/g and max height H=u²sin²θ/2g. Using given u, θ, g, calculation yields It determines the horizontal distance. Hence option C satisfies projectile formulas.
