ANSWER:

a. AB

Explanation:

The greatest distance occurs when the speed is increasing and also takes less time to reach that speed.

According to the graph, the highest speed is 8 m/s and it reaches it in 3 seconds, therefore, it is where the greatest distance is given.

Therefore, the segment of greater distance is the segment AB
