Based on the description of the graph showing an object's distance traveled over time, we can infer the following:

  • If the graph is a straight line with a consistent slope, the object is moving at a steady speed.
  • If the graph shows a curve that is getting steeper, the object is accelerating.
  • If the graph shows a curve that is getting less steep, the object is slowing down.
  • If the graph has sections where the slope changes direction, the object is likely changing its speed or direction.

Without seeing the actual graph, I can’t make a definitive conclusion. However, if one of the options must be chosen based on typical interpretations of distance-time graphs, you might go with "The object is moving at a steady speed" if the line is straight. If you see a curve that indicates an increase in distance over time, then "The object is accelerating" might be a better choice.

Please refer to the specific characteristics of the graph to select the most accurate response.
