A rifle sight is set so that you will hit a target at 100m. If, instead, you wish to hit a target closer than 100m, should you aim high or low?

A. You should aim high, since the bullet will drop due to the effect of gravity
B. You should aim directly at the target, if the rifle sight is set, it will aim true no matter the distance to the target
