The correct response is:
**The force of gravity makes it accelerate in a downward direction.**
When an object is thrown straight up, it initially moves upward due to the force applied when it is thrown. However, as it ascends, the force of gravity acts on it in the opposite direction, causing its speed to decrease until it eventually reaches its maximum height and begins to fall back down.
