Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
It is possible that an object can have a constant acceleration but with zero velocity. "Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time". But in this case, the given situation is possible if the body travels vertically upwards. After reaching the highest point, the object's velocity becomes zero but still acceleration due to gravity working on it in the downward direction. So this acceleration due to gravity is constant throughout the downward journey of the object.
