The answer is option (c).

The image will move away from the lens with a non-uniform acceleration. In this case, the objects are moving with a uniform speed of 5 m/s towards a convergent lens from the left; thus, with a non-uniform acceleration, the image moves away from the lens. The image starts at a uniform speed but gets accelerated going from 2F to F; the image goes from 2F to infinity. When the image is at 2F, both the object and image will have the same speed.
