An object is moving in negative direction with a negative acceleration. The velocity-time graph with constant acceleration which represents the above situation is: (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

For negative direction, the velocity must be negative throughout the journey. For negative acceleration,the velocity must be decreasing and hence the slope of the straight line representing the motion must be negative. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/9c58614dfd4fb94af0bd4f850c466511-.png" />
