Detailed Solution

From the figure, we can understand that the object is at rest.
The graph shows a straight line parallel to the x-axis, showing that the distance remains constant while time changes. If the graph shows a straight parallel to the x or y-axis, the respective parameter is a constant; here, the distance is constant. It means that the body is not moving, which means the body is at rest.
From the graph, we can understand that the object is in non-uniform motion.
The graph shows a straight line which turns to a deviation at a particular point, and for some time, it's going straight upward and again with small deviations. Here time is on the x-axis, and distance is on the y-axis; when time goes, the distance is slowly increasing, and at a particular point rapidly, the rate of change of movement increases which shows that the velocity is not constant, which means the body is at non-uniform motion.
