Solution

The correct option is C acceleration
Objects are in freefall if they are falling only under gravity. Freely falling bodies near the earth's surface gain constant acceleration called the acceleration due to gravity. For earth, the acceleration due to gravity near its surface is $9.8 m / s^{2}$ .
