$A$ small particle of mass $m$ is projected at an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis with an initial velocity $v_{0}$ in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure. For time $t < \frac{v_{0} \sin \theta}{g}$,the angular momentum of the particle is (where $\hat{i}, \hat{j}$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along the $x, y$ and $z$ axes respectively):
