(N/A) $(i)$ The graph is a horizontal line parallel to the time axis,which indicates that the distance of the body from the origin does not change with time. Therefore,the body is stationary.
$(ii)$ The graph is a straight line passing through the origin,which indicates that the body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. Therefore,the body is moving with uniform velocity (or uniform speed).
$(iii)$ The graph shows that initially,the distance increases linearly with time,indicating uniform velocity. After a certain point,the graph becomes a horizontal line,meaning the distance remains constant over time. Therefore,the body initially moves with uniform velocity and then stops suddenly.
