The correct statement is: "The graph should show distance on the vertical axis."

Explanation: By convention time is plotted on the horizontal (x) axis and distance/position on the vertical (y) axis. The other statements are not required (horizontal segments only if the object stops; doesn't have to start at the origin; can be curved if motion is accelerating).
