To answer the question correctly, I would need to see the graph showing the distance an object travels over time, as the description of the object's motion depends on the shape of the graph in each interval.

However, I can provide some guidance based on typical interpretations of distance vs. time graphs:

  1. If the graph has a straight line, it represents constant speed.
  2. If the line is horizontal, the object is not moving.
  3. If the line is sloping upwards with decreasing steepness, the object is slowing down.
  4. If the line is sloping upwards with increasing steepness, the object is speeding up.

Without the actual graph, it is not possible to definitively determine which table correctly describes the object's motion. Please provide the visual representation of the graph for a more accurate analysis!
