Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B move with uniform speeds but the speed of A is more than the speed of B
Slope of the Displacement-Time curve gives the velocity.
In the given figure both the curve are straight line that means both the velocities are uniform but curve A has slope greater then the slope of the curve B. That means the A has high velocity compare to the B.
