Solution

The correct option is D a straight line inclined to time axis
For a uniformly retarded motion, retardation( and hence acceleration) is a non-zero constant. Since slope of velocity-time graph is equal to acceleration, it can be concluded that slope of velocity-time graph is a non-zero constant. Hence, the velocity-time graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis.
