Answer : The correct option is, (D) 1.4 meters/second
Solution :
Average velocity : It is defined as the displacement per unit time.
Formula used for average velocity :

where,
= average velocity
d = displacement of the particle
t = time taken
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average velocity of the particle.

Therefore, the average velocity of the particle is, 1.4 meter/second.
