Acceleration means a change in velocity (velocity = speed with direction). So when an object accelerates it can speed up, slow down, or change direction — or any combination.

Of the choices given, the best idea is "It changes speed and direction" — but more precisely: it changes speed and/or direction. "All of the above" is not correct because it doesn't always speed up or always move opposite the motion.
