To analyze the motion of the object over the given intervals, we need to interpret the graph's features where:

- **Constant speed** occurs when the distance traveled is changing at a uniform rate (linear on the graph).
- **Decreasing speed** is indicated by a curve that moves towards a flat line, showing that distance is increasing but at a slower rate.
- **Increasing speed** happens when the graph shows a steeper incline over time, meaning the distance traveled is increasing more rapidly.
- **No motion** is when the graph remains horizontal (distance does not change over time).

Based on these interpretations for the motion of an object during various time intervals labeled AB, BC, CD, and DE, we can deduce the correct option based on the graph:

- **Interval AB → no motion** (if the graph is horizontal here)
- **Interval BC → decreasing speed** (if the distance increases at a slower rate)
- **Interval CD → constant speed** (if the graph is a straight line)
- **Interval DE → acceleration** (if the graph is becoming steeper indicating faster distance increases).

Given those criteria, the option that matches this description would be:

**interval AB → no motion, interval BC → decreasing speed, interval CD → constant speed, interval DE → acceleration.**

If there is a specific graph or image that you can provide details about, I can help analyze it more accurately!
