Answer: (d)inclined to time axis

Step-by-step explanation:

For a moving object, the distance equation can be written as:

D = S*t

if S = 0, we will have a line parallel to the time axis.

if S = infinity we will have a line parallel to the distance axis.

Both options are discarded here, as S = ∞ is not possible, and S = 0 would mean that the object is not moving.

where D is the distance moved at the time t, t is the variable, and S is the speed of the object.

As S is constant, this equation defines a linear relationship.

The graph of this line will be a line that is not parallel either to the time axis nor the distance axis, this will be an inclined line that goes between them.

So the correct option is: (d)inclined to time axis
