Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Aaron was riding forward, so the position graph should always be sloping upward, with his position always increasing away from home. Lastly, he slowed gradually as he got closer to the school, until he stopped at the bike rack, so the slope of X does not fit. Graph Z best fits this situation.
