Answer:

D) accelerate but will not spin.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the off chance that there is no air resistance the object will accelerate yet won't turn, this is on the grounds that without air resistance same force is applied on each bit of the object. Force on each segment is coordinated descending i.e parallel force. So there is no force to deliver spin movement in it.

It will accelerate because of gravity
