detailed solution

Correct option is C

for body dropped freely,  In vertical direction , initial velocity=uy =0; acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8m/s2;  for body projected horizontally, In vertical direction , initial velocity=uy =0; acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8m/s2;  as the physical quantities involving vertical displacement are same, both the bodies reach the ground in same time,  On applying Sy=uyt +12gt2;       here Sy=h=height of the tower; uy= vertical direction  initial velocity For both the bodies initial vertical component of velocity is same.hence both  the  bodies will reach the ground simultaneously.
