Options
car A is faster than car D
car B is the slowest
car D is faster than the car C
car C is the slowest

Solution
The slope of distance time graph gives the speed or the measure of rate of change of distance per unit time. So, the answer is,
(b) Car B is the slowest

If we denote speed by S, distance by D and time by T, the relationship between these quantities is ______.
Assertion: The slope of the distance-time graph of a body moving with high speed is steeper than the slope of the distance-time graph of a body with low velocity.
Reason: Slope of distance-time graph = speed of the body.
