A negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down, which typically happens when it is moving forward. However, it can also occur when an object is moving in the backward direction (decelerating). The most appropriate interpretation from your provided options based on common understanding is moving backward, since negative acceleration often implies a decrease in speed in the direction of travel. If the object were moving forward and experiencing negative acceleration, that would mean it is slowing down but not necessarily moving backward.
