To accurately determine which statement is true based on the graph, we need to analyze the graph's characteristics. Since the graph is not visible to me, I can provide guidance on how to interpret it:

  1. The object does not move: This would be true if the graph shows a horizontal line on the position vs. time graph.

  2. The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate: This describes a curve that gets steeper (increasing rate of acceleration) and then flattens out (decreasing rate of acceleration) in a position vs. time graph.

  3. The object accelerates at an increasing rate: This would fit if the graph is a curve that continuously gets steeper.

  4. The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate: This scenario would be a straight line on a position vs. time graph starting from the origin, indicating constant velocity after starting from rest.

Without the graph, I cannot definitively say which statement is the answer. If you can describe the graph's features (e.g., whether it is linear, curved, increasing, or decreasing), I can help you find the correct statement.
