rate of change
rate of speed
rate of work
rate of distance
In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity (or speed, in the context of scalar quantities). Among the given options, "rate of change" fits with the definition of acceleration when considering the rate of change of speed (or velocity). The other options: "rate of work" relates to power, "rate of distance" is not a standard physical concept in this context. So the correct choice for the blank (after "Acceleration is the") should be "rate of change" of speed (or velocity, but from the options, "rate of change" is the key part here).
