Solution

The correct option is D The same for all bodies
The maximum acceleration of the center of mass of a body along inclined plane in a downward direction is $g sin θ$ .
Where, g=acceleration due to gravity
$θ$ = angle of inclination of the plane.
This is independent of a property of the body.So the maximum acceleration is same for all the body
