Solution

The correct option is C Displacement of the body
From definition of velocity,
v=dt
where:
d Displacement
t Time taken
d=v×t

Hence, the area under a velocity-time graph gives the displacement of the body.
In the above graph, the total displacement is given by the area under graph = Area of all the regions (A+B+C+D).
