Can an object have increasing speed while its acceleration is decreasing? Support your answer with an example

A) No, this is impossible because of the way in which acceleration is defined. B) No, because if acceleration is decreasing the object will be slowing down. C) Yes, and an example would be an object falling in the absence of air friction. D) Yes, and an example would be an object rising in the absence of air friction. E) Yes, and an example would be an object released from rest in the presence of air friction.
