The graph shows how the velocity $v$ of an object moving in a straight line varies with time $t$ from $t = 0$ to $t = T$. Which graph represents the displacement $s$ of the object in the time $t = 0$ to $t = T$?

1. AGraph A: s against t, starting at 0, rising to a single maximum and returning to 0 at t = T
2. BGraph B: s against t, sinusoidal starting at 0, rising to a maximum, crossing zero and reaching a minimum before returning to 0 at t = T
3. CGraph C: s against t, two positive humps with a cusp at zero in the middle, returning to 0 at t = T
4. DGraph D: s against t, two positive humps separated by a flat zero region, returning to 0 at t = T
