Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true

We use the equation of motion for vertical component,

$s_{y} = u_{y} t+\frac{1}{2} gt^2.$

Here, $s_{y}$ is displacement of bullet, $u_{y}$ is vertical initial velocity of bullet which is equal to zero because bullet was fired horizontally, and t is time of flight.
