A. The ball's speed is increasing
If it is rolling up I suspect it is slowing down.
You are correct. If the ball is rolling up a ramp, it is moving against gravity, which means it is working against a resistive force. This resistive force would cause the ball to slow down, so the ball's speed is decreasing.
