Solution

The correct option is D curved line
We know that, slope of the velocity-time graph gives the acceleration of the body. If the velocity-time graph is a curved line, this means its slope changes at every instant which implies that the acceleration of the body changes at every instant. Thus the body is said to be in non-uniform motion.
