Concept:
Long jump performance is based on projectile motion principles. After take-off, the athlete follows a curved path called a parabola or trajectory. The body reaches a certain height and then descends under the effect of gravity like a freely falling body.
Step 1: Identify the initial phase of long jump.
The movement begins with:
\[
\text{Take off}
\]
Step 2: Understand the flight phase.
After take-off, the athlete moves in a:
\[
\text{Parabolic path}
\]
forming a:
\[
\text{Trajectory}
\]
Step 3: Follow the motion during flight.
The athlete reaches maximum:
\[
\text{Height}
\]
and then descends under gravity like a:
\[
\text{Freely falling body}
\]
Thus, the correct sequence is:
\[
A, B, C, E, D
\]
Hence, the correct answer is:
\[
\boxed{(C)\ A, B, C, E, D}
\]
