Answer:

The third option:

The object's acceleration is 0 m/
s^2 for the first 2 seconds because the velocity is not changing. Then, the object undergoes a positive constant acceleration because the slope is positive and constant.

Explanation:

First. I should note that the y-axis of this graph shows the velocity.

To see the acceleration, we should look at the slope of the velocity.

From [0,2] there is a slope of 0, this means that the acceleration is 0

From [2,4] there is a slope of
(1)/(2), which means that the acceleration is
(1)/(2) m/
s^2 . This is a positive constant acceleration.
