We're suspending disbelief that the orange portal can be moved. Assuming the orange portal is zero mass, 100% frictionless and efficient....
Then if the orange portal moves, logic dictates that the blue portal must also move in an equal and opposite way.
But now that means orange portal and blue portal have to influence each other's velocity and direction. The blue portal has to go down using the energy from the piston, so that A is the correct answer. But the object doesn't fly out, it remains at rest where it started and the blue portal smashes down through the table because the piston is strong.
The piston must feel a bump/crash resistance as the zero mass blue portal is accellerated, collides into the table, and the force from the table pushes against the piston to overcome the table which blocks the object from passing through.
The new thing is the orange portal motion, so logic dictates that the blue portal must also move, the question is in what way?
