Solution

The correct option is D Accelerated
When the train is moving with a uniform velocity, the coin falls back into the thrower's hands. This is because the coin acquires the horizontal velocity of the train and maintains it or the coin covers the same horizontal distance as the train. But when the train acquires acceleration, the train has moved forward than the coin and the coin will fall backward.
