speed

velocity
time
distance
In physics, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, and acceleration measures how velocity changes over time (change in speed, direction, or both). The other options: speed is a scalar (magnitude only), vector is a type of quantity (not what acceleration changes), time is a variable, distance is a scalar related to position. So the correct term for what acceleration is the rate of change of is velocity.
