The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Given initial velocity $u = 0$ and acceleration is constant
At time $t$
$v = 0 + at \Rightarrow v = at$
also $x = 0(t) + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \; \Rightarrow \; x = \frac{1}{2} at^2$
Graph (A) ; (B) and (D) are correct.

Concepts Used:
Motion in a straight line
The motion in a straight line is an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is a change in the position of an object over time. It is nothing but linear motion.
Types of Linear Motion:
Linear motion is also known as the Rectilinear Motion which are of two types:
- Uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration: If a body travels in a straight line by covering an equal amount of distance in an equal interval of time then it is said to have uniform motion.
- Non-Uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration: Not like the uniform acceleration, the body is said to have a non-uniform motion when the velocity of a body changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. The rate of change of its velocity changes at different points of time during its movement.
