C

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is C, and this is why:

Throwing it slightly backward would seem to you, since you're running, it got launched very far backwards, and you'd have to reach to catch it.

It isn't impossible, i've done it before.

Straight up would have no momentum and thus you'd run straight past it, and have to reach for it.

Thus, the answer is C.
