D The object is moving with an increasing acceleration

Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. The object is moving with a constant velocity

Correct Answer: A) The object is moving with a constant velocity
Explanation: A horizontal line parallel to the time axis means that the velocity value on the y-axis remains unchanged as time passes. Since the velocity is uniform, the acceleration is zero.
