Hii dear,
# Answer- acceleration is maximum when spring is just released
# Explaination-
When the spring (having spring constant=k) is stretched by length x, restoring force will be
F = -kx
Here, -ve sign shows that force is always in direction opposite to displacement.
The restoring force is central, hence particle will move in S.H.M. about equilibrium position.
Acceleration here is given by
a = F/m = -kx/m
When just released x = x(max).
Hence a = a(max).
Hence, acceleration will be maximum when spring is just released.
Hope that'll help you.

Hey friends!
The magnitude of acceleration is maximum at the maximum elongation of the spring.
