Answer: B

Explanation:

A. The car traveled around the track at a constant speed.

This statement is incorrect because a constant speed does not necessarily mean a constant velocity. A constant velocity requires that the speed and direction remain unchanged, but a constant speed only requires that the speed remains unchanged.
