Solution

The correct statement is B: acceleration is uniform.

Here's why:

A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time. If the graph is a straight line inclined to the time-axis, it means that the velocity of the object is changing at a constant rate. This constant rate of change in velocity is what we call uniform acceleration.

So, the velocity is not uniform because it's changing, but the acceleration is uniform because the rate of change of velocity is constant.
