Its speed changes with time
Its acceleration is zero
Its displacement increases linearly with time

If an object moves with constant velocity, it means that both its speed and its direction of motion are constant. Therefore, its speed does *not* change with time. Statement B says its speed changes with time, which contradicts the definition of constant velocity, making it the incorrect statement.
– Constant velocity implies constant speed and constant direction.
– Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
– Displacement is the change in position.
– Motion along a straight line means constant direction. Constant velocity guarantees this.
– Zero acceleration means no change in velocity. Constant velocity means zero acceleration.
– If velocity (v) is constant, displacement (s) is given by s = v*t. For a constant v, s increases linearly with time t.
