Given data:

* The initial value of the time is 0 s.

* The final value of the time is 12 s.

Solution:

The average speed from the graph is,


s=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{ Total time taken}}

Substituting the known values,


\begin{gathered} s=(7)/(12) \\ s=0.583\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the average speed from 0 to 12 seconds is 0.583 m/s.

Hence, fourth option is the correct answer.
