Cecelia dropped a ball from a height of 2 m. The ball fell in a straight path down to the ground.

According to Newton’s universal law of gravitation, which would change the path of the ball so it traces out the widest curved path possible?

tossing it horizontally at a slower speed
tossing it horizontally at a faster speed
dropping it from a shorter distance
dropping it from a greater distance

I’m pretty sure it is dropping it horizontally at a slower speed. Sorry if I’m wrong.
