Answer:

The options are

A. He should aim it at the monkey

B. He should aim it below the monkey

C. He should aim it above the monkey

D. None of the above

The answer is A. He should aim it at the monkey

This is because the monkey has a large surface area and a bigger body mass. This will make aiming the food at the monkey feasible in it getting it as it could use other parts of the body to get the food aimed at it. The monkey won’t reach the food when falling if it is aimed above it. It also won’t get to the it when it is shot at below it.
