Solution

The correct option is C Backward
The face is in the direction of motion so the force due to the acceleration of Bus will be opposite to motion that is opposite to face that is backward so he will fall backward.
The instant acceleration of the bus will be applied only to the foot of Rahul, while his upper body remains in the previous state, so Rahul will fall backward.
