Solution

The correct option is D opposite

An object remains in a state of rest if it does not change its position relative to a certain frame of reference.

The frame of reference is a point of view to observe the motion of an object.

Since the moving elevator acts as the frame of reference, the floor appears to be moving in the opposite direction.
