A lift accelerates downward with acceleration \(a\). A man in the lift throws a ball upward with acceleration \(a_0 (a_0 < a)\). Then the acceleration of the ball observed by an observer, which is on Earth is:

1. \((a + a_0)\) upward

2. \((a - a_0)\) upward

3. \((a + a_0)\) downward

4. \((a - a_0)\) downward
