Solution

The correct option is D (aa0)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 aa0
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 aa0. So, the correct answer is option 4.
