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 rises, the force of gravity acts on it, pulling it downwards. This gravitational force causes the object's speed to decrease until it reaches its highest point, at which it momentarily stops before falling back down.
