Why must a constant vector C\vec{C} (not just a constant scalar) be added when finding an indefinite integral of a vector function v(t)\vec{v}(t)?

A.Because each of the three components has its own arbitrary constant of integration, which together form a constant vector
B.Because vector integrals never actually need a constant
C.Because C\vec{C} must always be the zero vector for consistency
D.Because the constant only applies to the k\mathbf{k}-component

A particle has constant acceleration a(t)=10k\vec{a}(t)=-10\mathbf{k} (gravity) and initial velocity v(0)=5i+20k\vec{v}(0)=5\mathbf{i}+20\mathbf{k}. Find v(t)\vec{v}(t).

A.v(t)=5i+(2010t)k\vec{v}(t)=5\mathbf{i}+(20-10t)\mathbf{k}
B.v(t)=5i10tk\vec{v}(t)=5\mathbf{i}-10t\,\mathbf{k}
C.v(t)=(510t)i+20k\vec{v}(t)=(5-10t)\mathbf{i}+20\mathbf{k}
D.v(t)=5i+(20+10t)k\vec{v}(t)=5\mathbf{i}+(20+10t)\mathbf{k}
