Solution

The correct option is B Because of the gravitational force of the earth acting on the object
Gravitational force of the earth acts on every object having mass. When an object is thrown upwards the gravitational force of the earth acts against the velocity of the object and pulls the object downwards, i.e, towards itself. thus the object returns back towards the earth.
