His apparent weight will be the greatest when the elevator accelerating upward.

What is accelaration?

acceleration is the rate of to the  change of the velocity of an object with respect by  time.

When a person stand in an elevator moving upwards, he feels heavier because the elevator's floor presses harder on his feet, and the scale will show a higher reading than when the elevator is at rest.

According to Newton's second law

R = mg + ma

where;

R is the reading of the scale = apparent weight of the person

mg is the normal weight of the person

ma is the upward force acting on the person

Therefore, his apparent weight will be the greatest when the elevator is accelerating upward

(c) is accelerating upward
