{'straight line path': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'motion': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'velocity': [0, 2, 2, 6], 'circular path': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'graph': [0, 1, 1, 0], 'particle': [0, 2, 8, 30], 'straight line': [1, 0, 3, 15], 'displacement': [0, 1, 0, 3], 'speed': [0, 1, 2, 0]}

The correct answer is Option 1: The velocity of the particle is uniform.

To understand this, we need to analyze the graph. The graph shows a straight line between displacement (x) and time (t).

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. In other words, it indicates how fast an object is moving in a particular direction.

In the given graph, since the line between displacement and time is straight, it means that the object is moving with a constant speed. Moreover, since the slope of the line remains constant throughout the graph, the velocity of the object is also constant.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct. The velocity of the particle is uniform.
