Solution
The correct option is C Displacement Consider an example of the velocity-time graph of a body moving with uniform velocity.
Area under v - t curve = Area of rectangle OABC
= OA × OC = v × t
The product of velocity and time gives us displacement.
Therefore, the area under v - t graph gives displacement.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
