The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

When a lift is accelerating upwards, the apparent weight of a body increases. This is because the total force acting on the body is the sum of the gravitational force and the additional force due to the lift's acceleration. This makes the apparent weight greater than the true weight.
Thus, the correct answer is (D) More than the true weight.
