Final answer:

In projectile motion with air resistance, an angle close to 15° is most likely to provide the longest range due to the impact of drag force.


Explanation:

The most likely angle to give you the most range with air resistance is 15°. When considering air resistance, the maximum angle differs from the ideal 45° and is smaller, typically around 15° due to the drag force acting on the projectile. This angle allows for the best compromise between reaching distance and overcoming air resistance.
