Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

For a freely falling body or object the acceleration would be the acceleration due to gravity

This would vary depending on the system we choose.

If we choose m/sec ^2 i.e. metric system

acceleration due to gravity =
9.8m/sec^2

In FPS system

acceleration due to gravity
= 32.17 ft/sec^2

Out of 4 options we find that option B is right.
