A projectile has position vector \(\mathbf{r}(t)=(V\cos\theta\,t)\mathbf{i}+\left(V\sin\theta\,t-\tfrac{1}{2}gt^2\right)\mathbf{j}\). The Cartesian equation of its path is found by:

A.
eliminating \(t\) between the \(x\)- and \(y\)-components
B.
differentiating with respect to \(t\)
C.
setting \(y=0\)
D.
integrating with respect to \(t\)
eliminating \(t\) between the \(x\)- and \(y\)-components
