Solution

The correct option is A 1st quadrant
The acceleration is proportional to displacement and its direction is opposite to that of direction. Thus, a = -kx.
If a plot of a vs x gives a straight line in the first quadrant with slope = k. then a =-kx should give a straight line in the third quadrant
Thus the option (a) is the correct option
