Solution

The correct option is C

has a constant velocity


  1. Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement.
  2. It is the speed with a defined direction.
  3. In constant speed or velocity, the object travels equal distance or displacement in an equal interval of time.
  4. If speed is constant in a particular direction, that means velocity in that direction is constant.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
