Solution

The correct options are
A Acceleration of m2 is upward
C Acceleration of m1 will be equal to zero
Before burn,

T=m1g & T=T1+m2g
After burning the wire,
Tension in the spring does not change instantaneously.

so, for m1
Fnet= Tm1g = 0
am1=0
For m2
T1 becomes zero and m2 will have a non-zero acceleration
Tm2g=m2a
a=Tm2g
