Answer

Brief Explanations:

According to the text, when the steel - locking pin is removed, to lower the cup, one holds the cup and moves the steel handle upwards. This implies that without the lock (pin removed), the cup can be moved downwards. There is no indication that it can be moved upwards without locking.

Answer:

A. Downwards
