  1. Answer:

    D) The elevator moves downward while slowing in speed.

    Explanation:

    The elevator is moving downward with decreasing speed , that means a force is acting on it in upward direction . So it has  an acceleration in upward direction . This type of movement is similar to motion with acceleration in upward direction.

    In this case apparent weight will be greater.
