Solution

The correct option is A a straight line with positive slope to the time axis
A freely falling body undergoes a uniformly accelerated motion.
So, its velocity increases uniformly with time.
Thus the velocity-time graph of a freely falling body is a straight line with positive slope due to the time axis.
