When a passenger in a moving train tosses a coin and it falls behind them, it implies that the motion of the train is

acceleration.

This happens because, by the time the

coin remains in the air, its velocity reduces

and it falls behind the moving train.

If the train were moving uniformly or

along circular tracks, the coin would not

fall behind the passenger..

Therefore, the correct answer is

b. Acceleration
