Solution
The correct option is A always equal to g As the ring has a cut in it so it will get induced emf when flux change due to motion of the magnet but there will not be any induced current because circuit is incomplete due to cut, so there will be no extra field due ring so no effect on motion of magnet so its acceleration will be constant as g.
