$A$ block can slide on a smooth inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ kept on the floor of a lift. When the lift is descending with a retardation $a$,the acceleration of the block relative to the incline is

  • A
    $(g + a)\sin \theta$
  • B
    $(g - a)$
  • C
    $g\sin \theta$
  • D
    $(g - a)\sin \theta$
