Answer
- B The take-off run becomes shorter
Explanation
The aeroplane lifts off at a certain speed relative to the air. With a headwind it reaches this speed at a lower groundspeed, so the take-off run becomes shorter. A tailwind lengthens it considerably. The indicated lift-off speed stays the same.
