Solution

The correct option is C The particle moves at a constant velocity upto a time t0, and then stops.
The slope of the displacement-time graph gives velocity.
In the given graph, the x-t slope is constant upto time t=to, indicating constant velocity of the body. For t>to, slope is zero. This means that the body comes to rest at t0.
