Answer:

b

Explanation:

for a, total money spent, it would be a line with a positive slope since it's increasing (going up)

c. can't be height because this graph goes down, and we don't shrink

d. total rainfall for a day would always be increasing, it wouldn't go down. Even if the rain stopped in the middle of the day, it wouldn't make the total go down - the total would always stay flat or go up, never go down.

b) cricket jumps up, the graph goes up, he starts to fall back to the ground, the graph goes down, it hits the ground, jumps up again and the graph goes up again
