Solution

The correct option is B brakes applied on a fast moving car
In non-uniform motion, the speed of the object changes along a straight line. It may increase or decrease for different intervals of time. When brakes are applied, the car decelerates and its speed changes with time. So applying brakes on a fast moving car is the example of non-uniform motion.
