$A$ boy throws a ball with a velocity $V_0$ at an angle $\alpha$ to the ground. At the same time,he starts running with a uniform velocity to catch the ball before it hits the ground. To achieve this,he should run with a velocity of

  • A
    $V_0 \cos \alpha$
  • B
    $V_0 \sin \alpha$
  • C
    $V_0 \tan \alpha$
  • D
    $\sqrt{V_0^2 \tan \alpha}$
