Solution

The statement that is true for any location of the projectile in its trajectory is: "Time to travel the horizontal distance and time to travel the vertical distance are the same".

This is because the time a projectile is in motion, whether it is moving horizontally or vertically, is determined by the initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity. The time it takes for a projectile to reach its peak and the time it takes to return to its original height are the same, and this time is independent of the horizontal motion. Therefore, the total time in the air (also known as the time of flight) is the same for both the horizontal and vertical distances traveled.
