Answer:

B. The object has constant non-zero velocity and changing acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity of object

so whenever object is in accelerating mode then its velocity may have any magnitude and any direction

but the velocity will change at every moment of time

so it can not have uniform velocity when object has non zero acceleration

so here correct answer will be

B. The object has constant non-zero velocity and changing acceleration.
