Solution



  1. The velocity-time graph is a depiction of the variation of the velocity of a body with time.
  2. The slope of the velocity-time graph gives the acceleration.
  3. The area of the velocity-time graph is basically the product of velocity and time.
  4. We know that, velocity× time= displacement in the body.

  5. Thus, it is obvious that the area under the velocity-time graph gives the displacement of a moving object.

Thus,

Option D) displacement is the correct option.
