Answer:

Option (a) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Mathematically, it can be written as :


a=(v-u)/(t)

Where

v and u are final and initial velocity

It is clear that if there is some change in velocity, it means the object is experiencing either acceleration or deceleration. Hence, the correct option is (a).
