Solution
The correct option is D(a−a0)downward
The lift is accelerating downward with acceleration 'a'.
The ball is thrown upwards with an acceleration a0 upwards. But, a0<a . So, the net acceleration is a−a0
As the man is stationary on Earth, he will see the ball coming down along with the lift. But, the acceleration of the ball will be a−a0. So, the correct answer is option 4.
