The correct response is: **speed and velocity, but no acceleration.**
Explanation:
- **Speed** is a measure of how fast something is moving, and it is a scalar quantity.
- **Velocity** is similar to speed but includes direction, making it a vector quantity. Since the car is traveling at a constant rate (constant speed and direction), it has both speed and velocity.
- **Acceleration** is the rate of change of velocity. Since the car is traveling at a constant rate (not changing speed or direction), it does not have acceleration.
