The graph shows the variation with time t of the displacement s of an object. [graph of s against t: triangular wave] Which graph represents the variation with time t of the acceleration a of the object?

1. A[graph of a against t: triangular wave starting at positive maximum, crossing zero]
2. B[graph of a against t: square wave, positive then negative then positive]
3. C[graph of a against t: square wave, positive then negative then positive, offset]
4. D[graph of a against t: impulses/spikes at intervals]
