the area under a curve in a velocity versus time graph gives
○ acceleration.
○ velocity.
○ displacement.
○ position.

Explanation:

In a velocity - time graph, the area under the curve is calculated by integrating velocity with respect to time. The formula for displacement ($s$) is given by the integral of velocity ($v$) with respect to time ($t$), i.e., $s=\int v\mathrm{d}t$. Acceleration is the slope of the velocity - time graph (since $a = \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t}$), velocity is the y - axis variable, and position is related to displacement but the area under velocity - time graph directly gives displacement.

Answer:

C. displacement.
