Solution

The correct option is D 1 and 4 only
In the interval 1, the particle's velocity is negative, but reduces in speed as it approaches zero velocity. Hence the particle is slowing down
In the interval 4, the particle's velocity is positive and reducing in magnitude. Hence the particle is slowing down in the interval.
Hence correct answer is option D.
