Solution

The correct option is C increases
A plot of distance vs time of a body represents how the position of the body is varying with time. The slope of the plot is the ratio of the change in the body's position to time, i.e. equal to the body's speed.
Therefore Increase in the slope $⟹$ Increase in the speed of the body
