Answer:

The correct option is the second option with horizontal bars at a = 6, a = -1, and a = 4 m/s²

Please find attached the table of values and a graph representing the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data can be presented as follows;

Time (s), Velocity (m/s), Acceleration (m/s²)

0, -1, 6

0.5, 2, 6

1, 5, 6

0, 5, -1

0.5, 4.5, -1

1, 4, -1

1.5, 3.5, -1

2, 3, -1

2.5, 2.5, -1

3, 2, -1

0, 2, 4

0.5, 4, 4

1, 6, 4

1.5, 8, 4

2, 10, 4

From the data, and the graph the acceleration for the period from the time t = 0 to t = 1 is 6 m/s²

From t = 1 to t = 4, the acceleration is constant and equal to -1

From t = 4 to t = 6 the acceleration is also constant and equal to 4
