Solution

The correct option is A
in the direction opposite to the direction of motion

When a ball is thrown in the vertically upward direction, the acceleration due to gravity acts opposite to the direction of motion.
Thus, the ball experiences a force of attraction due to the earth's gravitational pull.
Hence, when a ball is thrown vertically upward the acceleration due to gravity is in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.
Hence, option A is correct.
