Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The distance-time graph represents the velocity of an object in the form of the slope of the graph. If the line is parallel to the time axis, the distance travelled is zero with respect to the time. Because the vertical axis of the graph represents distance, and the graph parallel to the x-axis indicates that there is no increment in the distance. Constant speed will be indicated by the constant slope of the line instead of the parallel line.
The correct statement would be that the distance-time graph of an object is a horizontal line parallel to the time axis representing an object at rest.
