Solution

The correct option is D

It follows from the figure, displacement increases linearly with time till $t = 5 s$ . Therefore, velocity is a positive constant from $t = 0 s$ to $t = 5 s$ .
From $t = 5 s$ to $t = 15 s$ , displacement remains constant. Therefore, velocity is zero during this interval.
From $t = 15 s$ to $t = 20 s$ , displacement decreases linearly with time. Therefore, the velocity is constant but negative in this time interval.
