Answer: D) The car stops at a distance away from the starting point because the portion shows a constant function away from the starting point.

Explanation:

You can see that at the starting point the moves along but then stops for while because the J is going straight to the side, meaning its constant.

For this case, the first thing you should keep in mind is the following definition:
d = v * t
Where,
d: distance
v: speed
t: time
For the portion of the chart labeled J we have:
The time increases
The distance is the same
We have then that the speed is zero.
Therefore, the car is stopped at a distance far from the starting point.
Answer:
D) The car stops at a distance from the starting point because the portion shows a constant function away from the starting point.
