In physics or physical science, acceleration (symbol: a) is defined as the rate of change (or derivative with respect to time) of velocity. It is thus a vector quantity with dimension length/time². In SI units, acceleration is measured in meters/second² using an accelerometer.
Or
Things are accelerating if they are changing speed or direction.
Are they doing this?

B - Yes
C - No
D - No
