$A$ block of mass $M$ on a horizontal smooth surface is pulled by a load of mass $M/2$ by means of a rope $AB$ and string $BC$ as shown in the figure. The length and mass of the rope $AB$ are $L$ and $M/2$ respectively. As the block is pulled from $AB = L$ to $AB = 0$,its acceleration changes from:

  • A
    $g/4$ to $g/2$
  • B
    $g/4$ to $g$
  • C
    $g/2$ to $g$
  • D
    $3g/4$ to $g$
