The correct answer is C. X.
In the chart, the position of the spacecraft remains constant for the first 20 seconds, then decreases steadily for the next 20 seconds. The position vs time graph that represents this would be a horizontal line for the first 20 seconds followed by a straight line sloping downwards for the next 20 seconds.
Option X is the only graph that matches this description. Options W, Y, and Z do not accurately represent the given chart.
