Option (a)

Explanation:

If a body is thrown upwards, it's velocity goes on decreasing with constant rate. It is because an acceleration is acting on the body which is equal to acceleration due to gravity and acting downwards. The value of acceleration due to gravity is constant and always acting downwards.
