Answer:

(D)

Explanation:

You want the graph that shows speed decreasing to zero.

Slowing

"Slowing down" means speed is decreasing. On a graph of speed that is indicated by a negative slope.

Stopped

When an object is stopped, its speed is zero. On a graph of speed, points on the horizontal axis indicate the speed is zero.

Graph

The attached graph shows the speed of a car that is slowing to a stop.
