A car is at rest by a red traffic light. When the light changes to green, the car starts moving. The graph represents the motion of the car. [graph: y-axis vertical, x-axis horizontal, curve starting at origin and increasing] The car has a constant acceleration. Which quantity is plotted on the x-axis and which quantity is plotted on the y-axis?

1. Ax-axis: distance, y-axis: time
2. Bx-axis: speed, y-axis: time
3. Cx-axis: time, y-axis: distance
4. Dx-axis: time, y-axis: speed
