A sphere falling in a viscous liquid increases its speed with time and finally achieves a terminal velocity at infinite time.

velocity varies with time as shown.

Net acceleration of the sphere is ($m g-$ Buoyant force$-$Viscous Force) downwards

$a=d \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3} g-\rho \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3} g-6 \pi \eta R v$

Hence a varies linearly with velocity. Hence option $\mathrm{C}$ is the correct answer.

    A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are $20 \ mm$ and $1 \ mm$ respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere. $Image$
