Correct answer
Towards the rear wheel.
Towards the rear wheel: the load it supports increases relative to the situation without that acceleration, while front-wheel load decreases. This is dynamic load transfer, not a claim that all mass physically moves or that total weight increases. Accelerate progressively: this transfer does not guarantee adequate grip, and excessive acceleration can cause loss of control.
