Solution

The correct option is B Speed decreases, magnitude of acceleration increases

As the particle goes from mean position to extreme position, its speed decreases and magnitude of acceleration increases.
|v| is maximum at mean position and zero at extremes.
|a| is maximum at extreme positions and zero at mean position.
