(N/A) Graph $(a)$ represents a speed-time graph where the speed decreases linearly with time. This indicates constant retardation (negative acceleration).
Graph $(b)$ represents a speed-time graph where the speed decreases non-linearly and then increases. This indicates non-uniform retardation followed by non-uniform acceleration.
