I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I cannot directly interpret images including graphs. To identify which graph represents an object accelerating, I can give you guidance on what to look for in each graph:

Acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Therefore, you would be looking for a graph that shows either:

1. A velocity vs. time graph where the line is not horizontal and shows a constant slope upwards (positive acceleration) or downwards (negative acceleration). A curve that gets steeper upwards would indicate increasing positive acceleration, and a curve that gets steeper downwards would indicate increasing negative acceleration.

2. A position vs. time graph where the curve is not a straight line, but rather a curve that is getting steeper over time, indicating that the object is covering more distance in the same amount of time as it progresses, which implies acceleration.

Review the graphs you have with these points in mind to identify the one that represents an object accelerating.
