Solution

The correct option is C decreases
When a force acts on a moving body in the direction opposite to that of the body's motion, then the speed of the body decreases. When a ball is thrown upwards, the force of gravity, which acts downwards, causes a decrease in its speed until the ball reaches the maximum height.
