$A$ lift is accelerating downward with an acceleration $a$. $A$ man inside the lift throws a ball upward with an acceleration $a_0$ relative to the lift $(a_0 < a)$. What is the acceleration of the ball as observed by an observer on the Earth?

  • A
    $(a + a_0)$ upward
  • B
    $(a - a_0)$ upward
  • C
    $(a + a_0)$ downward
  • D
    $(a - a_0)$ downward
