After ball B is dropped but before ball A strikes the ground, which of the following is true?

(A) The distance between the two balls decreases.
(B) The velocity of ball A increases with respect to ball (B)
(C) The velocity of ball A decreases with respect to ball (B)
(D) The distance between the two balls increases.
