equal to $g$
less than $g$
more than $g$
depends on the diameter of the ring and length of magnet

The Correct Option isB
Solution and Explanation
Acceleration of the magnet will not be equal to $g$. It will be less than $g$. This is because, as the magnet falls, amount of magnetic flux linked with the ring changes
An induced emf is developed in the ring which opposes the downward motion of the magnet
Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-
When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.
