Solution

The correct option is A
True

Earth's gravitational force on an object near the earth's surface is in the downward direction. Since the object is moving upwards, the Earth’s gravitational force acts in a direction opposite to the motion of the object. Hence, the speed of such a body object decreases during it's ascent.
