Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

When an object thrown upwards, the value of acceleration acting on the object is acceleration due to gravity which is always acting towards the earth.

As it falls downwards, the acceleration is again equal to the acceleration due to gravity.

So, the ball's acceleration is constant.
