(A)

Work Step by Step

x and t are in a linear relationship, $x=mt+b.$ $m=\displaystyle \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$ $m=0.2$ is positive, so x increases over an increase in time. $m$ is constant, so the rate of change of position in time (known as velocity, whose magnitude is speed) is constant The object is in motion, with fixed speed.
