Answer

The space curve in Figure 8 (A) matches its projection in Figure 9 (ii). The space curve in Figure 8 (B) matches its projection in Figure 9 (i). The space curve in Figure 8 (C) matches its projection in Figure 9 (iii).

Work Step by Step

1. Figure 8 (A) The line is parallel to the $yz$-plane, thus, the projection onto the $xy$-plane is Figure 9 (ii). 2. Figure 8 (B) The space curve is a helix moving above a circle in the $yz$-plane, while its height is $x=t$. Thus, the projection on the $xy$-plane is a wave. Thus, the projection onto the $xy$-plane is Figure 9 (i). 3. Figure 8 (C) Examining the curve, we conclude that the projection onto the $xy$-plane is Figure 9 (iii).
