To find the speed of the object, use the formula for speed:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance traveled is 10 centimeters and the time taken is 2 seconds.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{10 \, \text{cm}}{2 \, \text{s}} = 5 \, \text{cm/sec}
\]
Since 5 cm/sec is not one of the provided response options, there appears to be an oversight in the options listed. However, based on the calculation, the correct speed is 5 cm/sec.
