Answer:

B. a large change in velocity over a short time interval

Step-by-step explanation:

A "chjange in velocity" is acceleration. Acceleration is in units of meters/sec/sec or meter/sec^2.

)meters/sec) is velocity. Sec is the time.

Velocity/Time: A large change on the top (Velocity), divided by a small change in the bottom (sec) means the largest value for accceleration.
