Solution

The correct option is A is a straight line inclined to the time axis
Slope of a velocity-time graph with time axis measures acceleration.
So, for uniform acceleration, the graph is to have the same slope throughout.
This means that the velocity-time graph should be a straight line inclined to the time axis.
