Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The segment A shows acceleration as velocity increases with the increase in time.

(b) The segment C shows the object is slowing down as the time increases in segment C, the velocity decreases and afterwards it comes to rest.

(c) The velocity is segment B is 40m/s. And in the diagram there is no change in velocity.

(d) The acceleration of segment B is zero. As there in no change in curve and it is moving with uniform velocity.
