b) The stone's initial velocity is nonzero, relative to earth
c) The time taken to reach the ground from the balloon's frame of reference is inversely proportional to (a+g).
d) The time take to reach the ground from earth's frame of reference is directly proportional to (a+g).

Detailed Solution

The stone, once released will have a velocity equal to the instantaneous velocity of the balloon wrt earth but wrt ballon it will have not have any initial velocity. Thus both a and b are true

The stone after release will have an acceleration of g downwards. So acceleration with respect to balloon will be g+a. Therefore c is true.
