The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\mathrm{ma}$
Applying Newton's law
along string
$$
\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}-\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}=\mathrm{ma}
$$
or $\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\mathrm{ma}$

along string
$$
\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}-\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}=\mathrm{ma}
$$
or $\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\mathrm{ma}$
