The correct answer is:
In this situation, if mass m moves downwards a distance from the equilibrium position, the pulley will also move by x and so, the spring will stretch by .
Therefore, the spring force will be . The restoring force on the block will be .
Hence,

Therefore, the spring force will be . The restoring force on the block will be .
Hence,
