Bow B gives greater acceleration since the arrow reaches its final speed over a shorter distance than the arrow from bow A.

The tension in the string of the bow is greater if the distance through which it is pulled back is greater.
Since the string of the bow A is pulled through a greater distance than that of the bow B, the tension in the string of the bow A is greater than that of B.
If the strings are released, the string of A imparts greater force than that of B to the arrow.
Hence the arrow of A has greater acceleration than that of B.
