Answer 2

The correct option is:

D) starting to move and then increasing speed

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the racehorse is given by the slope of the given Distance-time graph.

Speed = Distance/time = Slope of the graph

The slope of the graph keeps increasing.

Hence, the speed of the racehore is increasing.

The distance moved is zero at t=0. Hence, the racehorse has started to move from rest.
