Answer:

Option: B is correct.

Instantaneous acceleration.

Explanation:

" The acceleration of the body at any instant of time is defined as its instantaneous acceleration "

The formula is given as:


$\displaystyle\vec{a}$$\displaystyle\equiv$$\displaystyle\lim_(\Delta t \rightarrow 0)^{}$$\displaystyle{\frac{\vec{v}}{\Delta t}}$

Hence, instantaneous acceleration is represented by a single point on a curved line in a distance time graph showing accelerated motion.
