To determine which statement about the object represented in the graph is correct, we need to analyze the details of a typical velocity versus time graph:

1. **Acceleration is positive when the velocity is increasing** (the graph slopes upward). If the graph shows a line that goes up from the initial point to the 60-second mark, then the first statement is correct.

2. **Velocity is 0 when the graph touches the horizontal axis** (where velocity = 0). If the graph does not touch the horizontal axis after 60 seconds, then the second statement is incorrect.

3. **Position is constant when the velocity is 0**, meaning the object is not moving. If the graph has a horizontal line (slope = 0) after 60 seconds, it indicates that the object's position is constant from that point onward.

4. **Acceleration is 0 when the graph is horizontal** (indicating constant velocity). If the graph has a constant slope from 0 to 60 seconds, then acceleration is not zero during that time.

Based on these points, you must examine the specific features of your graph to choose the correct statement. If, for instance, the graph shows a consistent increase in velocity from 0 to 60 seconds, the first statement would be correct. If the graph indicates any changes in velocity, choose accordingly based on what you see.

Once you assess the features of the graph, please choose the letter corresponding to the accurate statement. If I were to guess, typically, if the graph showcases a positive slope up to 60 seconds, the correct response might be:

**"Its acceleration is positive from 0 seconds to 60 seconds."**, as it indicates the object is speeding up during that time.

In conclusion, without seeing the actual graph, assess the slope and sections of the graph to make your final decision.
