Solution

The correct option is D First speeding up, then slowing down
Velocity is given by the slope of this graph. Since the graph of car A is having an increasing slope first and then decreasing slope throughout the time, thus car A is first speeding up and then slowing down.
Whereas car B is continuously speeding throughout the time.
