The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

From graph,
x = Slope $\left(t^{2}\right) $
$x =\frac{2-0}{1-0}\left(t^{2}\right) $
$x =2 t^{2} $
$\frac{d x}{d t} =4 t $
$\frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}} =4$
$a =4 \,m / s ^{2}$
$[\because \frac{d^{2} X}{d t^{2}}=a]$

Acceleration

In the real world, everything is always in motion. Objects move at a variable or a constant speed. When someone steps on the accelerator or applies brakes on a car, the speed of the car increases or decreases and the direction of the car changes. In physics, these changes in velocity or directional magnitude of a moving object are represented by acceleration
