    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When we differentiate the function, we get - 32x + 32, which is the velocity function of the original.

    When we differentiate again, we get - 32, which is derived from the initial - 16. This - 32 represents the acceleration, because it is the 2nd derivative.

    Hence, the answer is D, acceleration due to gravity.
