Option A is incorrect. Now, velocity is the rate of change of displacement, this means if the displacement is a sine function, differentiating it will give a cosine function which must be out of phase with the sine function by 90 degrees. So, velocity is out of phase with displacement, and leads it by 90degrees.
Option B is incorrect. displacement is not in phase with the force on the body because the force acting on the body will remain constant irrespective of the displacement provided damping and external air friction acting on the body is zero.
C is incorrect. Same thing is applicable to acceleration which is the rate of change of velocity. Hence, acceleration is out of phase with velocity by 90degrees.
D is the correct answer. force on the body is directly proportional to the acceleration of the body. If there are no external damping or air friction acting on the body, the force acting on it will remain constant. Same thing happens to the acceleration which is a constant called acceleration due to gravity.

More Explanation
Two things are said to be in phase if their wave form have the same frequency and are either both negative of both positive at a given time. For instance, two sine waves may have different amplitudes but if their wave lines cuts through the horizontal time-axis at the same points, they are said to be in phase. But if the two wave-lines cut through the time-axis at different points, they are said to be out of phase.

the correct answer is D. it can never be C because acceleration is out of phase with velocity by 90ยฐ

I think so is D because velocity has nothing to do with acceleration when it comes to phase. It should be force acting on it because increase in force weather damped or free increase acceleration

it cant be displacement bcos the acceleration of the force is un opposite direction to the displacement
